ABSTRACT
Hypothermia is a common complication in surgeries patients and may have serious consequences in both mother and fetal in cesarean surgery. This study was implemented to assess the effect of intravenous [IV] infusion of warm fluids on decreasing hypothermia in mothers and its consequences on newborns. This randomized controlled clinical trial was done on 70 candidates of elective caesarean surgery. First group received IV infusion of 38[degree] C fluids, second group got IV infusion of room temperature fluids. Mother`s core temperature, during the surgery and after the surgery, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, postoperative shivering and APGAR of newborns were assessed. The administration of warmed fluids prevented shivering [p < 0.01] and hypothermia 30 minutes postoperatively and 1 hour after in the recovery [p<0.01]. There were no significant differences in other variables. Infusion of warmed IV fluids can decrease hypothermia and its complications namely shivering in cesarean section
