First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether warming the anesthetic drug (bupivacaine) before injecting it into the spine could prevent shivering in patients undergoing urologic surgery. 96 adults were randomly assigned to receive either warm or room-temperature anesthetic. The main goal was to see if fewer patients experienced moderate to severe shivering after the spinal block.
