Summary
Magnesium Sulphate(MgSo4) is increasingly being used as part of the multimodal pain regimen
in the perioperative period. The intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is
utilized in complex spine and cranial surgeries to assess the functional integrity of the
neural pathways. The effect of Magnesium sulfate on IONM has not been studied.
This is a prospective, double blind, randomized controlled trial to study the effect of
Magnesium sulphate bolus on the amplitude and latency of somatosensory(SSEPs) and motor
evoked potentials(MEPs) in patients undergoing surgery requiring intraoperative
neuromonitoring.
