Effects of Adding Intrathecal Magnesium Sulphate To Bupivacaine And Fentanyl in Lower Abdominal And Lower Limb Surgeries

چکیده
Background & Aim: Addition of opiates with nonopioid adjuvants to local anaesthetics is becoming popular in perioperative pain management, as no single agent has yet been identified to specifically inhibit nociception without the usual side effects. Research continues concerning different techniques and drugs that could provide optimal operative conditions and postoperative pain relief. The present study is designed to assess the effectiveness of adding magnesium to a combination of intrathecal bupivacaine and fentanyl. Methods: After obtaining informed consent, sixty patients randomized into two groups, thirty each. Study group received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 2.5ml+ 25mcg (0.5ml) fentanyl + 50mg (1ml) magnesium sulphate. Control group received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 2.5ml+ 25mcg (0.5ml) fentanyl + 1ml of preservative free 0.9% sodium chloride. Time of onset of sensory, motor block, maximum level of sensory block, time to attain the same, duration of analgesia, two segment regression time, time for complete motor recovery, haemodynamic parameters and perioperative complications studied. All the statistical methods were carried out through the SPSS for Windows (version 16.0). Descriptive statistics, frequencies, crosstabs, independent sample ttest and repeated measures ANOVA were the statistical methods used for this study. Results: Duration of analgesia, time for two segment regression & time for complete motor recovery is significantly longer in MgSO4 group than in control group. Onset time for sensory and motor blockade is delayed in MgSO4 group but is statistically non-significant. Conclusion: Addition of intrathecal magnesium provides longer duration of analgesia, longer time for two segment regression & delays time for complete motor recovery with no significant haemodynamic variations/side effects.

متن کاملA randomised study of magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to intrathecal bupivacaine in patients with mild preeclampsia undergoing caesarean section.
BACKGROUND Adequate analgesia following caesarean section decreases morbidity, hastens ambulation, improves patient outcome and facilitates care of the newborn. Intrathecal magnesium, an NMDA antagonist, has been shown to prolong analgesia without significant side effects in healthy parturients. We therefore studied the effect of adding intrathecal magnesium sulphate to bupivacaine-fentanyl spi...

Background: No drug, used as adjuvant to spinal bupivacaine has yet been identified that specifically inhibits nociception without its associated side effects. The goal of neuraxial drug combination is to provide better analgesia with reduction in the incidence and severity of side effects. Objective: This prospective randomized double-blind study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic and adv...

Background and aim: In recent years spinal anesthesia using a local anesthetic incombination with an opioid has gained popularity for lower limb operations due to the highsuccess rate and patient satisfaction, and the decreased resource utilization compared withgeneral anesthesia. In experimental studies, intrathecal administration of magnesium sulphate(MgSO4) significantly potentiated antinoci...
