Aim: In clinical use, the addition of adjuncts (magnesium or tramadol) to local anesthetic agents is used for different reasons. However, reports about the effect of magnesium plus bupivacaine and of tramadol plus bupivacaine on in vitro preparations are scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the ability of local anesthetics to reduce the amplitude of compound nerve action potentials of the isolated frog sciatic nerve in the absence and presence of adjuncts (magnesium and tramadol). Materials and Methods: The experiments were done on frog sciatic nerves, using an extracellular recording technique. Isolated frog sciatic nerves were bathed …
