Abstract :
Background and Objectives: Brachial plexus block is
often used for the surgery of the upper extremity.
Magnesium Sulphate can be administered with multiple
routes for analgesia. We have compared the duration of
the postoperative analgesic effect of MgSO4 intravenous
bolus or as an adjunct to ropivacaine for brachial plexus
block.Sensory and
motor block onset times, Ramsay sedation scale, time to
first analgesic use, total analgesic need, postoperative
Numeric Rating Scale, hemodynamic variables, and side
effects were recorded for each patient.Findings: Conclusion: USG-guided
Brachial Plexus block with MgSO4 as an adjuvant to
ropivacaine as a bolus or intravenous prolongs the
duration of postoperative analgesia and decreases the
requirement of rescue analgesics with no side effects.
