Study summary

To study the core temperature perioperatively in patients due for elective cesarean sectio in spinal anaesthesia.

Core temperature will be registered by a zero-flux (SpotOn. 3m) probe on the forehead, starting in the holding area and continued until normotemperature post-operatively.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. incidence of perioperative hypothermia, less than 36.0 degrees

    mesured by zero flux in forehead

    Time frame: perioperatively

Secondary outcomes

  1. patient satisfaction: Patient will be asked to grade

    Patient will be asked to grade their feeling of being Cold/warm

    Time frame: perioperatively, repeated

  2. duration of perioperative hypothermia

    number of minutes below 36.0 degrees

    Time frame: perioperatively, continously

  3. shivering

    any shivering due to being cold

    Time frame: perioperatively
