Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparison of epidural magnesium and/or morphine with bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia after cesarean section.
Magnesium can potentiate the antinociceptive effect of morphine. This prospective randomized double-blinded study was undertaken to establish the analgesic effect of adding magnesium to epidural morphine during cesarean section. ⋯ Addition of magnesium 500 mg and morphine 1.5mg to epidural 0.1% bupivacaine 10 mL reduced postoperative pain compared with addition of morphine or magnesium alone or no additive.
