Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Prolongation in duration of postoperative analgesia with addition of intrathecal magnesium sulphate to hyperbaric bupivacaine as compared to hyperbaric bupivacaine with normal saline  time interval between administration of intrathecal block and first request for analgesia by patient(visual analog score more than 4 ) was noted 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Onset of sensory & motor block was slower while duration of sensory as well as motor block was prolonged with magnesium sulphate group. Neonatal APGAR scores and incidence of side-effects were comparable in the two groups  Continuous ECG,HR,SpO2 were monitored. Non-invasive BP,PR & level of sedation at every 3min interval till delivery of baby,thereafter at 5min interval till end of surgey,postop at 30min interval for first 2hr then hourly till first recue analgesic
Onset of sensory block- from time of block till T6(pin-prick method)
Onset of motor block-till Bromage scale 3 reached
APGAR score-at 1 and 5 min
Duration of sensory blocktime till T12 reached
Duration of motor block-till Bromage scale 0 reached

Brief Summary   The aim of our study was to evaluate whether addition of magnesium sulphate to intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine has any effect on prolonging the duration of postoperative analgesia as compared to hyperbaric bupivacaine alone, in patients undergoing lower segment Caesarean section. Also to compare the onset & duration of sensory and motor blockade, neonatal outcome and side-effects, in the two groups. 
We found that magnesium sulphate (50mg) as an adjuvant to hyperbaric bupivacaine intrathecally produces a significant prolongation in the duration of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lower segment Caesarean section.. It produces a sensory block of significantly longer duration as compared to hyperbaric 0.5%  bupivacaine alone ; but a prolongation in the duration of motor block which is seen with magnesium sulphate is not desirable as it delays the early mobilisation of patients.  However, magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to bupivacaine maybe beneficial in stable eclamptic patients or patients in whom side-effects related to intrathecal opioids aren’t desirable in prolonging the duration of post-operative analgesia. The incidence of hypotension and bradycardia were also comparable between the two groups.
