Body Temperature, Cutaneous Heat Loss, and Skin Blood Flow During Epidural Anaesthesia for Emergency Cesarean Section

This study aimed to determine how dosing of a labor epidural to provide anesthesia for cesarean section would affect mean body temperature and cutaneous vasomotor tone, hypothesizing that active cutaneous vasodilation would be blocked and therefore mean body temperature would increase.
