Summary
Ketamine and magnesium-ketamine are two analgesics that are being studied for use as
adjuvants. They were shown to have anaesthetic and analgesic properties, and as a consequence
of this finding, it has been postulated that they may have a role in minimising the
requirement for analgesic drugs during the postoperative period. The major objective of the
research was to examine the pain-relieving effects of ketamine vs ketamine magnesium
infusion, as well as their influence on postoperative morphine consumption following
nephrectomy; the secondary goal is to assess hemodynamic effects and pain severity.
