Lumbosacral epidural magnesium prolongs ketamine analgesia in conscious sheep

Abstract: PURPOSE:To determine the analgesic, motor, sedation and systemic effects of lumbosacral epidural magnesium sulphate added to ketamine in the sheep. METHODS: Six healthy adult male mixed-breed sheep; weighing 43 ± 5 kg and aged 20-36 months. Each sheep underwent three treatments, at least 2 weeks apart, via epidural injection: (1) ketamine (KE; 2.5 mg/kg), (2) magnesium sulphate (MG; 100 mg), and (3) KE + MG (KEMG; 2.5 mg/kg + 100 mg, respectively). Epidural injections were administered through the lumbosacral … Show more

“…But, ketamine give more prolonged analgesia than magnesium when used alone. 14 Present study also demonstrate the same results. Preservative-free ketamine and magnesium sulphate prolongs the postoperative analgesia when given epidurally as adjunct to bupivacaine, than bupivacaine is used alone.…”

“…Magnesium wird ferner in der Human-und Tiermedizin ein analgetischer Effekt zugeschrieben. Beim bisher noch eher experimentellen Einsatz von Magnesium zur Analgesie ließ sich der Analgetikabedarf reduzieren (5,25,91). Magnesium soll durch Hemmung der Thrombozytenaggregation und Fibrinogenbindung außerdem eine antikoagulatorische Wirkung haben (37,89).…”

“…Despite providing adequate relaxation and sedation, this combination provides no analgesia. Epidural anesthesia is recommended either with 1 mL/7 kg body weight (BW) of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride [44] or with 2.5-mg/kg BW ketamine [45]. When using ketamine (10%), total volume of injection should be 1 mL/7.5 kg BW and completed with saline solution for cranial migration of the drug.…”
