Study Overview
Brief Summary
In this prospective randomised controlled trial we will compare the effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate intake versus conventional fasting protocol on the intraoperative core maternal body temperature undergoing elective cessarean section ,
Parturient will be divided into two groups ,Group 1: will recieve 250ml of carbohydrate drink 2 hour prior LSCS,
Group 2: will be kept overnight fasted as per hospital protocol .
Intraoperative tympanic membrane temperature will be recorded at 30,60,90 minutes after spinal anaesthesia ,Changes in the tympanic membrane temperature at each above mentioned time points wll be compared in both (preoperative carbohydrate group and fasting group),
Incidence of shivering,, cold perception score and side effects will be noted as secondary outcomes.
