Abstract :

 

Objective: We conducted this clinical study to assess the adjuvant effects

magnesium sulfate (Mgso4) and clonidine  when administered epidurally  with bupivacaine.

Methods: A total of 90 American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) grade I and II patients undergoing lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries were enrolled to receive either magnesium sulphate (Group B) or clonidine (Group C) along with epidural bupivacaine for surgical anaesthesia. All patients received 19 ml of epidural bupivacaine 0.5% along with 50 mg magnesium in group B, 150 mcg clonidine in Group C, whereas in control group (Group A), patients received same volume of normal saline

Results: Onset of anaesthesia was rapid in magnesium group (Group B). In group

C there was prolongation of duration of anaesthesia and sedation with lower VAS score, but the

incidence of shivering was higher. The groups were similar with respect to haemodynamic variables,

nausea and vomiting.

.Conclusion: The current study establishes magnesium sulphate as a predictable and

safe adjunct to epidural bupivacaine for rapid onset of anaesthesia and clonidine for prolonged

duration of anaesthesia with sedation
