Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of the study is to evaluate postoperative anslgesic effect of singlevdose of intravenous magnesium sulphate infusion versus singledose of dexamethasone infusion for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia.Timepoint: 1.To determine the duration of sensory blockade and motor blockade in each group. 2.To determine the hemodynamic parameters in each group. 3.To determine the time of first liquid intake postoperatively by the patient after advised nil per oral period. 4.APGAR score of the baby at 1 and 5 minutes to assess the overall neonatal outcome. 5.To determine side effects, if any, in each group.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1 To determine the duration of sensory blockade and motor blockade in each group. 2 To determine the hemodynamic parameters in each group. 3 To determine the time of first liquid intake postoperatively by the patient after advised nil per oral period. 4 APGAR score of the baby at 1 and 5 minutes to assess the overall neonatal outcome. 5 To determine side effects, if any, in each group. Timepoint: 1Haemodynamic monitoring related to each group intraoperatively at 0 min and at 5 minute interval upto 1 hrs and postoperatively at 0hrs,1 hr, 2hr, 3hr, 4hr,6hr,8hr,12hr,18hr,24hrs respectively.
