Summary
The investigators hypothesize that magnesium sulphate owing to its analgesic and sedative
properties is not inferior to fentanyl in providing conscious sedation as adjuvants to
propofol and local injection of lidocaine in patients undergoing surgery for evacuation of
subdural haematoma. Consequently, the investigators are testing this hypothesis by comparing
the sedative and analgesic effects of magnesium sulphate versus fentanyl as adjuvants to
propofol lidocaine admixture for conscious sedation in patients undergoing burr hole surgery
for evacuation of subdural haematoma.
