Abstract

Twenty-four unpremedicated patients of ASA class II or III undergoing TURP were given esia with 10 mg of tetracaine at level L3-4 or L4-5. These patients were randomly given "warm" or "ambient temperature" irrigating fluids. Those with irrigating fluids of temperature between 25.5 degrees C and 33 degrees C were arranged as Group 1 and those of temperature between 21.5 and 23 degrees C as Group 2. The results failed to show that the incidence of shivering could be decreased by the use of warm irrigating fluids.
