Abstract
Pain control in the postoperative period has long been a challenge for anesthesia providers and patients. Traditionally, opioids have been the primary treatment of post-surgical pain. However, with multimodal pain control growing in popularity, anesthetists now have a multitude of options to provide analgesia while also reducing opioid consumption. Intravenous magnesium is postulated to decrease pain by antagonizing the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Intravenous Magnesium administration is supported by current research evidence in reducing post-operative pain and opioid consumption when administered intra-operatively.
