NCT06685705

Brief Summary

Lower abdominal surgeries often result in severe pain, which in turn can cause rapid and shallow breathing, retention of secretions and poor patient compliance. Justifiably, apart from the fear for the surgery outcome, patients are concerned mainly with postoperative pain. If treated inadequately, acute pain can have serious consequences for patient health mainly with postoperative complications, prolonged recovery and increased length of hospital stay. Higher levels of postoperative pain and pain distress are associated with increased morbidity, poorer functional recovery, and reduced quality of life. Aim of the study To compare the duration, quality of analgesia, and side effects between intrathecal Magnesium sulfate, neostigmine and fentanyl as adjuvant for bubivacaine as postoperative analgesia in lower abdominal surgeries
