Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patients' shivering based on quadratic scale: No shiver 0; Mild shiver: Mild contractions in facial and neck muscles (1); Moderate shiver: Apparent shivering in neck and shoulders and extremities (2); Severe shivering: Apparent shivering They will be evaluated throughout the body (3). Timepoint: On arrival before spinal (0 minutes), 15 minutes after spinal, surgical completion time, recovery time, and 15 minutes after surgery. Method of measurement: Quadruple shivering Scale.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patients' comfort ratings will be scored based on a VAS observation score ranging from 0 to 10. (0 indicates patient satisfaction with temperature and temperature; and 10 indicates worst patient perception of temperature and temperature conditions ). Timepoint: On arrival before spinal (0 minutes), 15 minutes after spinal, surgical completion time, recovery time, and 15 minutes after surgery. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale.
