Abstract

Present study was carried out on 60 female patients in the age group of 35 to 70 years, ASA I-II, scheduled for TAH under subarachnoid block. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups of 30 patients in each group. We compared magnesium in a dose of 100 mg to bupivacaine and plain bupivacaine in TAP block and found that magnesium adjunct to bupivacaine decreases VAS scores postoperatively, prolongs duration of analgesia, decreased number of demands for rescue analgesia, although further studies are still required.
