Clinical Trial Summary

Shivering is a common side-effect of epidural anesthesia. In studies to date, the assessment of shivering has been based on a simple scale using descriptive words rather than actual measurements. We believe that we can assess shivering more scientifically by using a novel method to quantify arm movements during shivering.


Description:

This novel method will allow the investigators to quantitatively assess and measure shivering in obstetric parturients undergoing varying procedures under epidural anesthesia.
