Abstract
Women receiving intrathecal morphine for cesarean delivery may experience hypothermia with paradoxical symptoms of sweating, nausea, and shivering. Despite being relatively rare in comparison to commonly experienced symptoms of perioperative hypothermia, hypothermia with paradoxical symptoms affects early maternal recovery and comfort. The cause is undetermined, and treatment approaches vary. Regular active-warming strategies may not be tolerated because of the paradoxical symptoms of sweating and feeling overheated. This case series aims to explore the phenomenon through the evaluation of health care records of women receiving intrathecal morphine for cesarean delivery at a single, tertiary health care institution in Australia from 2015 to 2018. We also summarize published literature to review treatment approaches used in the care of women experiencing profound heat loss while feeling overheated.
