Comparison of Subarachnoid Magnesium Sulfate and Fentanyl as Adjuvants With 0.5% Heavy Bupivacaine for Postoperative Analgesia in Infra-Umbilical Surgeries
Abstract:Objectives: The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of adjuvant use of subarachnoid fentanyl with the adjuvant use of subarachnoid magnesium sulfate as adjuvants to bupivacaine in subarachnoid block for infraumbilical surgeries in terms of: (1) Block characteristics, namely, time taken for onset of block and time taken for regression of block, (2) Hemodynamic stability in intra- and post-operative phase.
Methods: A total of 70 ASA I/II patients scheduled for infra-umbilical surgery were enrolled… Show more
