Shivering during surgery often appears as a complication in surgical patients under general anesthesia. This phenomenon can trigger an increase in oxygen demand, higher energy burning, and discomfort for the patient. The risk is greater in Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) cases with long operating times. Objective : Describe the pattern of intraoperative Shivering in ORIF patients receiving general anesthesia in the Central Surgery (IBS) room at RSUD dr. Gondo Suwarno Ungaran. Method : This descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at IBS RSUD dr. Gondo Suwarno Ungaran. The sample consisted of 5 patients selected through purposive sampling. Data collection relies on direct observation and review of medical records during surgical procedures. Univariate analysis focused on frequencies and percentages. Results : Four respondents (80.0%) were male. A total of 4 respondents (80.0%) underwent surgery for more than 60 minutes. Shivering was detected in 3 respondents (60.0%), while 2 others (40.0%) were free from these symptoms. The heaviest level of Shivering occurred most often, namely in 2 respondents (40.0%). All cases of Shivering were recorded in patients with operation duration exceeding 60 minutes. Conclusion : Incidence of intraoperative Shivering in ORIF patients with general anesthesia at RSUD dr. Gondo Suwarno Ungaran is relatively high, especially for those whose operations last more than 60 minutes.
