Maternal comfort scores during the procedure. The maternal thermal comfort scores differed significantly between two groups from the T2 to T6 timepoints (all P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). Timepoints: T0 = baseline, T1 = pre-spinal, T2 = post-spinal, T3 = after 15 min in the OR, T4 = after 30 min in the OR, T5 = surgery end, T6 = PACU arrival, T7 = after 15 min in the PACU,T8 = after 30 min in the PACU. We measured thermal comfort scores using a verbal numerical scale in which 0 was defined as completely unsatisfied with their “thermal comfort” and 100 as completely satisfied. *P < 0.001,#P < 0.05 refer to statistically significant difference between the intervention and the control groups. +P < 0.001,−P < 0.05 refer to comparisons with baseline (T0)
