Intrathecal magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to bupivacaine for infraumbilical surgeries: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Intrathecal anaesthesia is widely used for infraumbilical surgeries due to its effectiveness in providing pain relief during and after the operation. Adding magnesium sulphate (MgSO) to intrathecal local anaesthetics can prolong analgesia, reduce postoperative analgesic requirements and improve the management of shivering perioperatively. This review aims to investigate the use of intrathecal adjuvant MgSO4 for anaesthesia in infraumbilical surgeries.
