Measure
Group NSS
The patients received normal saline with the same amount of magnesium sulphate for loading and continuous infusion started at skin incision until dura was closure. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol, fentanyl, cisatracurium and sevoflurane. Vasopressor or antihypertensive drug are used to control hemodynamics.
Group Mg
The patients received 40 mg/kg of magnesium sulphate loading in 30 minutes at incision and then continuous drip 10 mg/kg/hr until dura was closure. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol, fentanyl, cisatracurium and sevoflurane. Vasopressor or antihypertensive drug are used to control hemodynamics.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Postoperative day 3-7

Population: There are some missing data due to patient's visual, hearing or writing problems that occurred postoperatively.

MOCA or Montreal Cognitive Assessment is a screening instrument used to facilitate the assessment of cognitive impairment. MOCA scores range between 0-30, do higher values represent a better outcome. A score of 26 or over is considered to be normal. We measure Montreal assessment score for assess cognitive function after operation at postoperative day 3-7.
