Key Points
Dexmedetomidine significantly reduces shivering during cesarean sections while maintaining hemodynamic stability.
Increased block duration in the dexmedetomidine group (218.83 min) compared to control (163.17 min) signifies effective spinal anesthesia.
The incidence of shivering was markedly lower in the dexmedetomidine group (10.0%) than the control group (50.0%).
Perioperative nausea and vomiting were not significantly affected by dexmedetomidine, highlighting its specific benefits.
