Surgical anaesthesia was accomplished in all sufferers without any intraoperative analgesic requirement. Demographic information, gestational weeks, serum and CSFmagnesiumlevelsaregiveninTable1.Nostatisticaldifference was noted among the groups in terms of patients’ demographics and gestational weeks. Mean duration of MgSO4 infusion in pre-eclamptic individuals was 14.9.6 h having a minimum of 12 and maximumof 20 h. Serum and CSF magnesiumlevelsweresignificantlyhigherinGroupMg.Duration of surgery have been 34.five.4 min in Group C and 39.90 min in GroupMg(p=0.054).Noneofthepatientsneededadditional intraoperative analgesia.

Magnesium can be a non-competitive NMDA-antagonist and can potentiate opioid activity with central desensitisation (18).ThereareafewstudieswhichhavelookedattheanalgesiceffectsofIVmagnesiuminpatientsundergoingspinal anaesthesia;even so,noneofthemhaveincludedanobstetric population(3-5).Inallofthesestudies,lowerdosesofMgSO4 (rangingfrom1.03gto12.35g)wereusedandtheinfusions have been started immediately after lumbar puncture.
