The Effects of Actively Warming the Patient on Maternal and Infant Well-Being in a Cesarean Section Operation.

Purpose: Intraoperative warming is recommended for surgical patients under anesthesia, but there are insufficient studies on this topic in cesarean delivery patients under spinal anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of active warming on the mother and newborn during elective cesarean section.

Design: This research was carried out in an experimental design with a pretest-posttest randomized intervention and control group.
