Effect of addition of intrathecal magnesium sulphate to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine and 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine on duration of analgesia in parturients undergoing elective caesarean section: A prospective randomised study.
Abstract
Addition of magnesium sulfate to local anesthetics improves the quality of spinal anesthesia for caesarean section. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of intrathecal 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 75-mg magnesium sulfate (MgSO) and 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine with 75-mg MgSO on the duration of analgesia in parturients undergoing elective caesarean section.
