    Abstract: Shivering is one of the most common complications of neuraxial blockade. Some patients find shivering sensation worse than surgical pain post-operatively. Therefore, both prevention and treatment of established shivering should be regarded as clinically relevant interventions during the preoperative period. This prospective experimental study was conducted at Wad Madani Maternity Teaching Hospital and aimed to measure the efficacy of pethidine when used for the treatment of postoperative shivering following spinal anesthesia during the period from November 2018 to February 2019. The sample size included of 40Patients within the American Society of Anesthesia type two physical statuses;25 mg pethidine diluted in 5 ml Normal saline-injected intra veins. All patients were monitored for temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, these parameters were recorded preoperative, and post 10 minutes of operative, then after 10 minutes of pethidine dose administration. Data were analyzed by using a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The statistical results showed that there was a significant relationship between hypothermia and the presence of shivering. 90% of cases resolved to shivering, whereas 10% did not resolve, just 2.5% had Nausea and Vomiting and no side effects on the Respiratory and cardiac Systems. Based on those results the study concluded that: a small dose of pethidine 25 mg intra veins is very effective in resolving postoperative shivering with minimum side effects in the gastrointestinal tract and Good Cardiopulmonary stability. The study recommended that: warming tools should be available for patients to prevent heat loss, close monitoring of Patient's temperature intraoperative and in the recovery room, and use of 25mg Pethidine in the Presence of shivering intraoperative or post-spinal anesthesia.
