The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of IV pethidine and intrathecal pethidine on the incidence, onset, duration, and intensity of shivering in females undergoing caesarean section. The main question it aims to answer is: which route is more efficacious in preventing shivering. Researchers will compare IV pethidine and intrathecal pethidine to see their effects on post spinal shivering, their effects on hemodynamic stability, nausea, vomiting, and sedation.
