Effect of Magnesium Sulphate Pretreatment in Pediatric Abdominal Surgery
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
MgSO4: The patients will be pretreated with magnesium sulphate infusion (30 mg kg-1, total volume 100 ml, infusion rate 5 ml min-1) 20 min. before induction of anesthesia.
Cis-Atracurium: Cis-Atracurium will be administered at 0.1-0.15 mg/kg IV bolus for intubation and maintenance at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg iv on fixed intervals.
Study summary
In this study, the investigators will compare the effect of magnesium sulphate pretreatment on the onset and duration of intense and deep neuromuscular Block of rocuronium versus Cis-Atracurium and on the period of no response to nerve stimulation in children undergoing elective open abdominal surgeries.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The time of no response to nerve stimulation (seconds) — Intraoperative
Neuromuscular monitoring will be performed using acceleromyography with the TOF-Watch SX (Organon Ireland Ltd, Dublin, Ireland). Period of no response will be defined as the time period with no response to TOF stimulation (intense and deep NMB).
