Summary
: Pain modulation is very important after operation, particularly for women who undergo
caesarean section. A pain-free postoperative period is essential following a caesarean
section so new mothers may care for and bond with their neonates. The consequences of the
improper pain management which raise the healthcare costs and prolong the recovery process.
Intrathecal adjuvants are often administered during this procedure to provide significant
analgesia, but they may also have bothersome side effects. Intrathecal midazolam and
magnesium sulfate produces effective postoperative analgesia with no significant side
effects.
Objectives: This prospective, randomized, double-blind study was designed to compare the
analgesic efficacy and safety of intrathecal midazolam vs. Magnesium sulfate vs plain
bupivacaine as an adjunct to bupivacaine in pregnancy patients scheduled for elective
caesarean section.
