Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims at evaluating the effect of adding magnesium sulphate epidurally as an adjunct to levobupivacaine on the quality of anesthesia and perioperative pain relief in patients with preeclampsia undergoing elective caesarian section (CS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pregnant women with preeclampsia undergoing elective CS in will be included in the study. All patients participating in the study will be randomly divided into two groups; magnesium sulphate group (study group) and placebo group (control group). Patients in the study group will receive epidural 20 ml levobupivacaine hydrochloride 0.5% plus 5 ml magnesium sulphate 10% (500 mg) while patients in the control group will received epidural 20 ml levobupivacaine hydrochloride 0.5% plus 5 ml saline 0.9%.
