Özet

Background and Objectives: Perioperative hypothermia is a common problem in anesthesia practice. Regional anesthesia, like general anesthesia, influences the thermoregulatory process. The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy of onclansetron and meperidine in the prevention of shivering during and after spinal anesthesia.
