Neuraxial (spinal or epidural) anesthesia is the most common form of pain management during labor and birth and the method of choice for cesarean births because it allows mothers to be awake for the birth of their infant. A side effect of neuraxial anesthesia is vasodilatation, core-to-peripheral redistribution of body heat, and loss of cold perception, placing the patient at risk for developing hypothermia. Perioperative hypothermia increases the patient risk of developing morbid myocardial outcomes, coagulopathy, and increased incidence of surgical wound infection. In addition, hypothermia in the cesarean delivery patient places the newborn at risk for hypothermia. In a retrospective review of low-risk scheduled cesarean deliveries, N = 143, covering a 6-month period, 21% of mothers and 36.5% of newborns experienced hypothermia. Newborns also experienced hypoglycemia and respiratory instability.
