Brief Summary   Spinal anesthesia is a preferable anesthesia technique for various day-care orthopedic, obstetric and lower abdominal surgeries.Hyperbaric Lignocaine was commonly used for ambulatory procedures due to its short duration of action, but numerous reports of Transient Radicular Irritation (TRI) was reported after its use. Ropivacaine, (Approved by European Union for intrathecal use in 2004) has been demonstrated to provide safe and reliable spinal anesthesia of intermediate duration, with relatively shorter duration of motor blockade compared to Bupivacaine; encouraging earlier mobilization in patients.Due to difficulty in maintaining pharmacological stability of hyperbaric Ropivacaine, currently only isobaric solution are available. But Ropivacaine, made hyperbaric by adding desired quantity of Dextrose, has been compared with isobaric solution for spinal anesthesia, and a predictable block with better cephalad  spread  and a quicker sensory and motor regression with the former has been proven.Opioid adjutants have been used with intrathecal Ropivacaine for extending duration of block and their associated side effects like nausea, vomiting, bladder retention, purities, paralytic ileus and  respiratory depression  have been noted.Intrathecal Magnesium sulphate, has been used in humans since 1906.10 It is a non competitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate and inositol triphosphate-gated calcium channels, and it blocks the spinally mediated facilitatory component evoked by repetitive C-fibre stimulation (activity dependant increase in excitability of spinal neurons). This can prevent and abolish central sensitisation.Ropivacaine is emerging as a local anesthetic of choice to provide spinal anesthesia for day care surgeries of shorter duration and Magnesium sulphate is a non opioid adjuvant devoid of various undesirable effect; and hence, we decided to conduct this randomised trial to demonstrate the effects of Magnesium Sulphate as an adjuvant to intrathecal hyperbaric Ropivacainefor infra umbilical surgeries.
