Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Magnesium Sulphate as an Adjuvant to 0.5% Hyperbaric Levobupivacaine and Fentanyl in Patients Undergoing Lower Extremity Orthopedic Surgeries  A subarachnoid block is performed by an experienced anesthesiologist using a midline approach with local infiltration at the L3-4 or L4-5 intervertebral space. A 25 G Quincke’s spinal needle is used to administer the anesthetic drug: 2.5 ml (12.5 mg) of 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine plus 0.4 ml of fentanyl (20 mcg), and 0.1 ml (50 mg) of preservative free magnesium sulphate (Group M), making a total volume of 3.0 ml. Afterwards, patients will be placed supine, and the primary investigator will record the vital signs and effect of the spinal drug i.e. motor and sensory levels at specified intervals using pinprick tests and the Modified Bromage Scale. If the block is insufficient after 20 min, general anesthesia will be administered. Post-surgery, patients are transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit for further monitoring and assessment. 
Comparator Agent  Normal Saline 0.9% as an Adjuvant to 0.5% Hyperbaric Levobupivacaine and Fentanyl in Patients Undergoing Lower Extremity Orthopedic Surgeries  A subarachnoid block is performed by an experienced anesthesiologist using a midline approach with local infiltration at the L3-4 or L4-5 intervertebral space. A 25 G Quincke’s spinal needle is used to administer the anesthetic drug: 2.5 ml (12.5 mg) of 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine plus 0.4 ml of fentanyl (20 mcg), and 0.1 ml 0.9% of Normal saline (Group S), making a total volume of 3.0 ml. Afterwards, patients will be placed supine, and the primary investigator will record the vital signs and effect of the spinal drug i.e. motor and sensory levels at specified intervals using pinprick tests and the Modified Bromage Scale. If the block is insufficient after 20 min, general anesthesia will be administered. Post-surgery, patients are transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit for further monitoring and assessment.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To compare the duration of postoperative analgesia (defined as the time to first request for
rescue analgesia) between the group receiving 50 mg intrathecal magnesium sulfate with a
combination of 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine and fentanyl and the control group receiving
only the combination of 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine and fentanyl.
2. To evaluate the time to achieve adequate sensory and motor block (onset time) following spinal
anesthesia in both the magnesium sulfate and the control group.

Brief Summary   Before surgery, patients undergo a routine pre-anesthetic checkup, including an explanation of the visual analog scale for pain and the spinal anesthetic procedure, followed by obtaining written informed consent. On the day of surgery, patients are moved to the operation table where ASA standard monitoring (5-lead ECG, non-invasive blood pressure, and pulse oximeter) is applied, and an 18 G intravenous cannula is secured. Lactated Ringer’s solution is administered at 15 ml/kg body weight. A subarachnoid block is then performed by an experienced anesthesiologist using a midline approach with local infiltration at the L3-4 or L4-5 intervertebral space. A 25 G Quincke’s spinal needle is used to administer the anesthetic solution: 2.5 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine, 0.4 ml of fentanyl, and either 0.1 ml of magnesium sulphate (Group M) or 0.1 ml of normal saline (Group S). Post-injection, patients are placed supine, and the primary investigator, who is blinded to the group allocation, monitors vital signs at specified intervals. Intraoperative management includes treating hypotension and bradycardia with appropriate medications and providing supplemental oxygen if needed. Sensory and motor blocks are assessed regularly using pinprick tests and the Modified Bromage Scale. If the block is insufficient, general anesthesia is administered. Post-surgery, patients are transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit for further monitoring and assessment.
