abstract={This case report describes a patient with hypothermia induced via spinal morphine and its reversal with Lorazepam, a short acting benzodiazepine. The patient presented with refractory hypothermia following Caesarean section with paradoxical vasodilation and diaphoresis. The successful prompt reversal of the hypothermia with Lorazepam while maintaining pain relief highlights the benefit of its use in cases of morphine-induced hypothermia. However large clinical trials are still needed to verify the benefits of such treatment.},
