The effect of adding intrathecal magnesium sulphate to bupivacaine–fentanyl spinal anaesthesia

Background:  The addition of intrathecal (IT) magnesium to spinal fentanyl prolongs the duration of spinal analgesia for vaginal delivery. In this prospective, randomized, double‐blind, controlled study, we investigated the effect of adding IT magnesium sulphate to bupivacaine–fentanyl spinal anaesthesia.
