Abstract

Background: Post-anaesthesia shivering (PAS) occurs in 33%-56.7% of spinal anaesthesia patients and is associated with cold exposure, patient factors, and prolonged surgical and anaesthesia duration. Physiological changes may heighten the risk of postoperative problems, especially in vulnerable patients, and often cause considerable discomfort.

Cases presentation: This study reports four cases of women having scheduled caesarean sections while under spinal anaesthesia (lignocaine and bupivacaine). Following surgery in the postoperative ward, they had fever, raised blood pressure (170/110 mm Hg), and shivering for 1.5 min while receiving their intravenous medications.

Conclusion: Proper perioperative monitoring of caesarean patients receiving spinal anaesthesia is crucial to minimise complications. Prompt action is made possible by early detection of adverse events like fever, shaking, and changes in blood pressure. Both patient safety and postoperative outcomes are improved by this approach.

术后患者寒战：妇科病房病例报告。

背景：麻醉后寒战（PAS）发生在33%-56.7%的脊髓麻醉患者中，与冷暴露、患者因素、手术和麻醉时间延长有关。生理变化可能会增加术后问题的风险，特别是在脆弱的患者中，并且经常引起相当大的不适。病例介绍：本研究报告了4例妇女在脊髓麻醉（利多卡因和布比卡因）下进行剖腹产手术的病例。在术后病房手术后，他们在接受静脉注射药物时出现发烧、血压升高（170/110毫米汞柱）和发抖1.5分钟。结论：腰麻剖宫产患者围手术期监护对减少并发症至关重要。通过早期发现发热、颤抖和血压变化等不良事件，可以迅速采取行动。这种方法提高了患者的安全性和术后预后。
