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. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmcr/10/12/2/ajmcr-10-12-2.pdf Morphine-induced hypothermia Benzodiazipine Lorazepam spinal anaesthesia Obstetric anaesthesia cesarean delivery medication adverse effect
