    Background: Transition out of the operating room is a very important period in terms of the occurrence of complications. And to promote the quality and safety advancements made in the operating room and better perioperative patient outcomes preventing these complications play a key role. Among these complications post operative shivering is the common one. So different studies were done to find out The size and elements linked to this complication showing that the impact of post operative shivering on post operative recovery. Objective: To explore the prevalence and Factors related to postoperative shivering inelective patients receiving general and spinal anesthesia Method: Institutional based Descriptive cross-sectional survey will be used. Result: in the study period a total of 326 patient who underwent elective surgery both under general and regional anesthesia in TASH major operating room were included and the prevalence of post operative shivering was 41.1%. And multivariate logistic analysis showed statistically significant correlation with hypothermia (AOR= 36.629, 95%CI :( 17.837-75.218) in PACU and duration of surgery more than 2 hours (AOR=4.332, 95%CI (1.332-14.083). Conclusion: due to its high prevalence of post operative shivering in this study in-cooperating both passive and active warming mechanisms as part of intraoperative management should be considered.
