Introduction: Elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) performed under spinal anesthesia often leads to postoperative shivering, causing discomfort and potential complications. Intravenous ondansetron, known for its antiemetic properties, has shown promise in reducing shivering. In this study, we investigate the efficacy of ondansetron in preventing postspinal shivering during LSCS, aiming to enhance the perioperative experience for parturients. Material and Methods: This prospective interventional study assessed the efficacy of intravenous ondansetron in preventing postspinal shivering during elective lower segment cesarean sections (LSCS) under spinal anesthesia. One hundred pregnant patients were divided into two groups: ondansetron (Group S, n=50) and control (Group C, n=50). Group S received 4 mg of intravenous ondansetron preoperatively, while Group C did not receive preoperative medication. Shivering incidence, severity, and complications were recorded, and the Bedside Shivering Assessment Scale ... : Introduction: Elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) performed under spinal anesthesia often leads to postoperative shivering, causing discomfort and potential complications.
