Comparison the effect of bupivacaine plus magnesium sulfate with ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate infiltration on postoperative pain in patients undergoing lumbar laminectomy with general anesthesia.

What Was Tested

Researchers studied Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc in this randomized controlled trial publication.

In this study, the researchers investigated the effect of local injection of ropivacaine and bupivacaine with magnesium sulfate on postoperative pain in vertebral laminectomy surgery.

Who Took Part

The study group was 60 patients.

The age groups tagged for this paper are teenagers, young adults, adults, middle-aged adults and older adults.

This randomized double-blind prospective study was conducted among 60 patients aged 18-65 years old with ASA class I and II.

How the Study Was Run

The researchers set it up as a randomized and double-blind study.

Because people in this Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc study were split into groups at random, differences between the groups are less likely to reflect who happened to join each one.

Blinding on both sides kept the patients and researchers unaware of who received Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc.

What Was Measured

PubMed files the paper under topics including Bupivacaine, Ropivacaine, Magnesium Sulfate, Anesthetics, Local, Laminectomy, Saline Solution and Postoperative Pain.

The authors tagged it with the keywords lumbar laminectomy.
