Article Abstract
Cesarean deliveries receiving spinal anesthesia with intrathecal morphine are associated with post-operative hypothermia. Lorazepam has been proposed as a reversal agent for treating intrathecal morphine-associated post-cesarean hypothermia. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine familiar to most anesthesia providers and is frequently administered in the perioperative period. We present a post-cesarean delivery spinal anesthesia-associated hypothermia patient successfully treated with intravenous midazolam.
