Strategy for Calculating Magnesium Sulfate Dose in Obese Patients: A Randomized Blinded Trial

Table 3

Comparison of postoperative highest pain scores and morphine consumption during hospitalization.

Medians with the first and third quartiles of the highest postoperative pain scores and morphine consumption (mg·kg^−1)
Group	Median (pain)	25%	75%	Median (morphine)	25%	75%
CG	5.0	2	6	0.05	0.00	0.10
CWG	2.5	2	3	0.00	0.00	0.02
RWG	2.0	2	2	0.00	0.00	0.00
	0.006	N/A	N/A	<0.001	N/A	N/A

CG, control group; CWG, corrected ideal body weight group; RWG, real body weight group, Kruskal–Wallis. For highest pain, RWG x CG ()-Bonferroni comparison, CWG x CG ()-Bonferroni comparison, RWG x CWG ()-Bonferroni comparison. For morphine consumption, RWG x CG ()-Bonferroni comparison, CWG x CG ()-Bonferroni comparison, RWG x CWG ()-Bonferroni comparison.
