Abstract
UNLABELLED: Shivering associated with spinal anesthesia is uncomfortable and may interfere with monitoring. We performed this prospective, double-blinded, and randomized study to determine whether intrathecal meperidine (0.2 mg/kg) decreases the incidence and intensity of shivering after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Forty parturients scheduled for nonemergent cesarean delivery were enrolled in two groups. Spinal anesthesia consisted of hyperbaric bupivacaine (0.75%; 10.5 mg), morphine 0.15 mg, and, in the experimental group, meperidine (0.2 mg/kg) or, in the control group, normal saline. Data collection, including sensory block level, blood pressure, core temperature, and shivering intensity, was performed every minute for 10 min, every 3 min for 33 min, and then every 5 min until the sensory level receded to L4. Time to highest sensory level, maximum number of blocked segments, sensory and motor blockade regression, and systolic blood pressure showed no difference between groups. The incidence of shivering was less (P < 0.02) in the meperidine group, as was its intensity (P < 0.003). Intrathecal meperidine (0.2 mg/kg) is effective in reducing the incidence and intensity of shivering associated with spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. IMPLICATIONS: Previous studies have suggested that IV meperidine is helpful for treating intraoperative shivering. This study was undertaken to evaluate spinal meperidine and found that it decreases the incidence and intensity of shivering associated with spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
