Brief Summary

Magnesium sulfate has been shown to be a successful tool in a large number of clinical areas. Its benefits include neuroprotection, control of eclampsia / pre-eclampsia, control of intraoperative blood pressure, decreased neuroendocrine response during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation and reduced levels of postoperative pain and consumption of analgesic. Obese patients have become more and more frequent in the operating rooms, due to the increasing prevalence of this population worldwide. However, although they have received magnesium sulfate as part of the analgesic strategy in many centers, there has been no study demonstrating the appropriate dose of this medication in obese patients. This study aims to compare two doses of magnesium sulfate in obese patients: based on their real weight or based on ideal weight.

Masking Details
A professional will arrange the electronic draw, allocate the groups and prepare the opaque envelopes. Another professional will prepare the covert solution, the prescription of which will be inside the opaque envelope. The third professional will administer the anesthesia. Another team member will collect the data and organize it in a spreadsheet. The data will be analyzed by an independent statistician. Participants and performers for each stage will be covered for each participant's group.
