Dexmedetomidine is potent and highly selective alpha-2 agonist and Magnesium Sulfate is a NMDA receptor antagonist. Studies have shown that Dexmedetomidine and Magnesium Sulfate increases the duration of epidural blocks, when combined with local anesthetics. Therefore, it is expected that such a benecial effect of Dexmedetomidine and Magnesium Sulfate can be manifested when it is injected in combination with bupivacaine to epidural space
