Effect of magnesium infusion on thoracic epidural analgesia

Abstract: Introduction:Patients of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) having an ASA status III or more are likely to be further downgraded by surgery to critical levels of pulmonary function.Aim:To compare the efficacy of thoracic epidural block with (0.125%) bupivacaine, fentanyl combination and (0.125%) bupivacaine, fentanyl combination with adjunctive intravenous magnesium infusion for the relief of postoperative pain in patients undergoing LVRS.Methods:Patients were operated under general anesthesia.

“…The use of magnesium sulphate can cause peripheral vasodilation which improves cutaneous circulation thus, decreasing the incidence of shivering. (21) Magnesium also acts as Ca 2+ antagonist and NMDA receptor antagonist. This mechanism of action has also been considered for anti-shivering effect.…”

“…Firstly, we used fixed doses of intrathecal (50 mg) and intravenous (30 mg/kg followed by 10 mg/kg) magnesium administration. Although these doses had been proved to be effective by previous studies [4,7,16,21,22], but we assume that comparing larger doses may produce different results.…”

“…[ 6 ] IV magnesium also prolongs opioid-induced analgesia while minimising nausea, pruritus and somnolence. [ 11 ] And, epidural magnesium has shown to lower the cumulative dose of local anaesthetic ropivacaine. [ 12 ] Apart from this, epidural magnesium had no effect on the incidence of chronic post-operative pain after video-assisted thoracic surgery.…”
