TAP Block With Magnesium Sulfate Added to Local Anesthetic in Abdominal Hysterectomy

October 11, 2016 updated by: Ahmad Mohammad Abd El-Rahman, Assiut University

Efficacy and Safety of Magnesium Sulfate Added to Local Anesthetic in TAP Block for Postoperative Analgesia Following Total Abdominal Hysterectomy.

Major abdominal surgeries are associated with severe abdominal pain, which can affect respiratory and cardiac functions, if insufficiently managed. This increases the incidence of post-operative morbidity.

The objective of this study was to detect the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to the analgesia offered by local anesthetic in ultrasound guided TAP block in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy.
