AbstractBackground and Objectives: Postoperative hypothermia is a common and important complication of anesthesia and surgery that negatively affects the mother and the neonate. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of the hypothermia prevention program on central temperature changes and hemodynamic parameters in women undergoing cesarean section. Methods: In this two group quasi-experimental study, 92 pregnant women were conveniently selected, who were candidates for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia in Ali Ibn Abi Talib hospital, Zahedan, Iran, 2017. Then, they were allocated randomly in two intervention and control group. The intervention group received a hypothermic prevention program. Central temperature, blood pressure, and pulse rate of the patients were measured and recorded seven times. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS software, version 21. Results: The results showed that the pattern of temperature changes in the groups was significantly different over time (P = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the groups considering the hemodynamic parameters. Conclusions: The hypothermia prevention program is effective in reducing the central temperature loss and can reduce its severity after the surgery in women undergoing cesarean section.en
