To compare the pain relieving effect of ketamine versus magnesium sulphate as add-on to bupivacaine given in spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section

Phase 3

Not yet recruiting

Conditions: pregnant women going for lower segment caesarean section

Registration Number: CTRI/2023/10/059277

Lead Sponsor: Sawai Man Singh Medical College and Hospital

Brief Summary: In this study, we plan to study and draw a comparison of additives like ketamine and magnesium sulphate to hyperbaric bupivacaine to determine their effectiveness in improving the overall quality of anaesthesia in parturients posted for elective caesarean sections.

For this a total of Sixty patients (n=60) undergoing elective caesarean section who satisfy the inclusion criteria will be randomly divided into two groups of 30 each(A and B). Group A patients will be receiving intrathecal ketamine (25 mg) as additive to hyperbaric bupivacaine and group B will be receiving magnesium sulphate (75 mg) as additive to hyperbaric bupivacaine.

When patients arrive in the operating room (OR), intravenous cannula (IV cannula) will be inserted and hemodynamic variables will be measured. After this spinal anaesthesia will be administered using ketamine as an additive to bupivacaine in group A and magnesium sulphate in group B. Surgery will be allowed to proceed after the block reaches T6 sensory level (complete sensory block). Quantitative values of time of onset of sensory loss, time of onset of motor loss, time taken for sensory regression, time taken for motor regression, duration of analgesia will be recorded.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1. To assess & compare between two groups the mean duration of analgesia.	Blood pressure, pluse rate, ECG, & pulse oximetry will be recorded every 5 minute intervals during the first 15 minutes of surgery & then every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery. Sensory block level will be assessed based on loss of sensation to pinprick immediately after the subject is made supine & every 1 minute thereafter until block reached T6 sensory level. The measured time will be recorded as the onset of complete sensory block, & at this time, surgery will be allowed.
2. To determine difference in mean time duration of sensory onset of spinal anaesthesia	Blood pressure, pluse rate, ECG, & pulse oximetry will be recorded every 5 minute intervals during the first 15 minutes of surgery & then every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery. Sensory block level will be assessed based on loss of sensation to pinprick immediately after the subject is made supine & every 1 minute thereafter until block reached T6 sensory level. The measured time will be recorded as the onset of complete sensory block, & at this time, surgery will be allowed.

parturients undergoing elective caesarean section using pin prick method.	Blood pressure, pluse rate, ECG, & pulse oximetry will be recorded every 5 minute intervals during the first 15 minutes of surgery & then every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery. Sensory block level will be assessed based on loss of sensation to pinprick immediately after the subject is made supine & every 1 minute thereafter until block reached T6 sensory level. The measured time will be recorded as the onset of complete sensory block, & at this time, surgery will be allowed.
3. To assess and compare between two groups the mean time duration in motor onset	Blood pressure, pluse rate, ECG, & pulse oximetry will be recorded every 5 minute intervals during the first 15 minutes of surgery & then every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery. Sensory block level will be assessed based on loss of sensation to pinprick immediately after the subject is made supine & every 1 minute thereafter until block reached T6 sensory level. The measured time will be recorded as the onset of complete sensory block, & at this time, surgery will be allowed.
using bromage score.	Blood pressure, pluse rate, ECG, & pulse oximetry will be recorded every 5 minute intervals during the first 15 minutes of surgery & then every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery. Sensory block level will be assessed based on loss of sensation to pinprick immediately after the subject is made supine & every 1 minute thereafter until block reached T6 sensory level. The measured time will be recorded as the onset of complete sensory block, & at this time, surgery will be allowed.
4. To assess and compare between two groups the mean time duration for sensory	Blood pressure, pluse rate, ECG, & pulse oximetry will be recorded every 5 minute intervals during the first 15 minutes of surgery & then every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery. Sensory block level will be assessed based on loss of sensation to pinprick immediately after the subject is made supine & every 1 minute thereafter until block reached T6 sensory level.
