Effect of Maintenance of Intraoperative Normothermia in Cesarean Section on Thermal Comfort, Serum Cortisol and Apgar Score: A Randomized Controlled Trial

When the pregnant women in the experimental group were laid on the operating table, they were heated from the back with a heating pad. The heating pad remained on the pregnant woman's back throughout the cesarean section. The cesarean section took an average of 35 minutes from the first surgical incision to the completion of the incision after spinal/epidural anesthesia.
