Anesthesia for neurosurgery requires balancing deep and effective anesthesia as well as postoperative analgesia versus the risks of delayed recovery and postoperative respiratory depression. This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was designed to evaluate the effect of magnesium sulfate on the total anesthetic and analgesic consumption using the clinical parameters in addition to the bispectral index (BIS) and neuromuscular monitoring using train-of-four (TOF). Magnesium is necessary for the presynaptic release of acetylcholine from nerve endings and may produce effects similar to calciumentry- blocking drugs.
Peer review refers to the work done during the screening of submitted manuscripts and funding applications. This process encourages authors to meet the accepted standards of their discipline and reduces the dissemination of irrelevant findings, unwarranted claims, unacceptable interpretations, and personal views. Publications that have not undergone peer review are likely to be regarded with suspicion by academic scholars and professionals.
