Abstract
Vlok R, Borowczyk K, Melhuish TM and White LD
A trend in anaesthesia has been the addition of adjunct agents to infiltrated local anaesthetics to prolong the duration of analgesia [1-5]. One such agent is magnesium. A review of several databases including Pubmed, Medline, Web of Science and Cochrane Clinical Trials Registry identified four high quality level one RCTs studying the effect of adding magnesium to local anaesthetic infiltration in tonsillectomy [1,6-8].
