Brief Summary   A STUDY TITLED ’EPIDURAL LABOR  ANALGESIA -EVALUATION OF EFFICACY OF MAGNESIUM SULPHATE AS AN ADJUVANT TO ROPIVACAINE AND FENTANYL MIXTURE ’ WAS CARRIED OUT IN GOVERNMENT GENERAL HOSPITAL,KADAPA DURING THE PERIOD FROM OCTOBER 2022-MARCH 2024
THIS STUDY INCLUDED 80 PRIMI PARTURIENTS DIVIDED RANDOMLY INTO TWO GROUPS EACH 40 PATIENTS .IN GROUP A PARTURIENTS RECEIVED TOTAL VOLUME OF 12 ML OF 0.125% ROPIVACAINE PLUS 25MCG FENTANYL FOR EPIDURAL LABOR ANALGESIA.ADITIONALLY,AN EPIDURAL TOP  UP OF 9ML OF 0.125% ROPIVACAINE WAS ADMINISTERED WHEN THE NUMERICAL RATING SCALE SCORE WAS MORE THAN 3.IN CONTRAST GROUP B RECEIVED THE SAME VOLUME OF 12 ML OF 0.125% ROPIVACAINE  PLUS 25MCG FENTANYL AND 50MG MAGNESIUM SULPHATE FOR EPIDURAL LABOR ANALGESIA.SIMILARLY,AN EPIDURAL TOP UP OF 9ML OF 0.125% ROPIVACAINE WAS ADMINISTERED WHEN THE NRS SCORE WAS MORE THAN 3.
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WERE COMPARABLE IN BOTH GROUPS .OUR STUDY MONITORED PARAMETERS INCLUDING ONSET AND DURATION OF ANALGESIA ,NRS SCORES ,NUMBER OF TOP UPS ,MATERNAL EXPULSIVE EFFORTS,MODE OF DELIVERY,APGAR SCORES AND HEMODYNAMIC VARIABLES.
FINDINGS REVEALED A SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER ONSET OF ANALGESIA IN GROUP B COMPARED TO GROUP A WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER DURATION OF ANALGESIA IN GROUP B AS WELL.MATERNAL EXPULSIVE EFFORTS AND MODE OF DELIVERY WERE COMPARABLE BETWEEN BOTH GROUPS.ADDITIONALLY THERE WERE NO STASTICAL DIFFERENCE IN APGAR SCORES AT 1 MINUTE AND 5 MINUTES BETWEEN TWO GROUPS
