Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial

Background
Emergence agitation (EA) is a well-documented phenomenon in children anesthetized with sevoflurane (1, 2, and 3) however; EA has not been studied sufficiently in adults.
Despite EA is time-limited, but it can substantially affect the patient and surrounding stuff; the agitated patient tries to remove IV cannulas, O2 mask, nasal pack therefore he subject himself to self-injury such as rebleeding, hypoxia and inability to receive medications. Furthermore, he can be dangerous to recovery room stuff by throwing objects and hitting them.
We have recorded cases of bruises and ecchymosis from restrains of severely agitated patients
In our pilot study, we have noted that patients recovering from hypotensive anesthesia and anesthetized with sevoflurane exhibits variable degrees of emergence agitation up to delirium. Some of them become more agitated if given midazolam or mepridine for sedation or pain control. We do not know if our protocol of medications and or hypotension is responsible for emergence agitation. We have planned a series of studies to prevent and understand EA following induced hypotension in adults.
It is intuitively attractive to consider pre-operative administration of MG sulphate to prevent or ameliorate EA for several reasons; first, it can help in deliberate hypotension (4) therefore, reducing the dose of the used medication to control blood pressure that might increase agitation. Second, it antagonizes N-methyl ¿D Aspartate (NMDA) receptors (5,6) thus providing analgesia; third, it has a calming and anesthetic sparing effect (6).
Aim of the study
This study is designed to 1- study frequency and severity of EA related to hypotensive anesthesia in adults.
2- Study the effect of MG SO4 on prevention of EA in comparison to placebo control.
