Summary
Intravenous magnesium has been studied in pediatrics to reduce agitation after sevoflurane
anesthesia in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy, reduce intraoperative rocuronium
requirements, prevent laryngospasm and coughing after removal of the endotracheal tube in
patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of intravenous magnesium sulfate on
postoperative pain management in paediatrics and to compare it with its effect when
administered caudally in children undergoing lower abdominal surgeries.
