Abstract :

Aim:This study was conducted to compare the effects of addition of 0.2 mmoles of KCl and 150mg of MgSO₄ as an adjuvant on the onset of motor and sensory blockade with USG guided supraclavicular block in adult surgical patients. Material and methodology: The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups of 20 each into group A (KCl – 0.2 mmoles(1ml solution)), group B (MgSO₄–150mg (1ml solution)) and group C (Control–1 ml NS) added as adjuvant in USG guided SCB . Time of onset of sensory block(T1) , motor block(T2),Time of onset of Peak sensory block(T3) and Peak motor block(T4),and side effects ,if any were noted. Observation :The onset of (T1) , (T2), (T3) and (T4) was earliest in Group A KCl respectively followed by Group B MgSO₄and last in Group C Control respectively. Conclusion :KCl reduces the onset of sensory and motor blockade than MgSO₄,when used as an adjuvant in USG guided SCB.
