Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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