Abstract :
Introduction: Meperidine is known as the gold standard drug for shivering after spinal anesthesia (SA). This drug has been used
widely and safely during the Cesarean Section (CS).
Case Presentation: This case report presents an anaphylaxis reaction to a single intravenous dose of 25 mg meperidine, aiming to
control shivering during CS under SA a few minutes after surgical incision.
Conclusions: The condition was well managed with timely intervention. This rare fetal reaction to meperidine is worthy of reporting to make the medical team aware of the potential risks of anaphylaxis due to many routine safe drugs.
