Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| when mgso4 added to 0.75% Ropivacaine and fentanyl for epidural anesthesia, it brings about better quality, faster onset, and longer duration of sensory and motor blockade when compared with ropivaCaine fentanyl aloneTimepoint: variables block characteristics such as:-Time for achieving onset of analgesia, Time for achieving T10 sensory blockade ,Median and maximum level of sensory blockade achieved, Time for achieving Motor Blockade ,Time for complete motor recovery ,Time for requirement of first epidural top up from initial medication (in min) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| better hemodynamic and side effect profile with 0.75% ropivacaine fentanyl and mgso4 than with ropivacaine and fentanyl in epidural anesthesiaTimepoint: mean arterial pressure heart rate and spo2 was observed at preoperatively 0, 5, 10,15,20, 30 ,45,60,90,120,150,180,210,240 minutes till the end of surgery and postoperatively while shifting the patient.side effect profile was checked at all time intervals after administering the drug to the patient. | — |
