OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficiency, clinical effects and nursing methods related to the use of magnesium sulfate micro air pump suction for treating infants under two years old suffering from bronchiolitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2014 to September 2014, ninety-six infants with capillary bronchitis were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: experimental grou...

In the US, the routine use of magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis in women with preeclampsia is an ingrained obstetric practice. During the past decade, several observational studies and randomized trials have described the use of various regimens of magnesium sulfate to prevent or reduce the rate of seizures and complications in women with preeclampsia. There are only 2 double-blind, pla...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intravenous magnesium sulfate on the prevention of pain during the injection of microemulsion propofol. Magnesium is a known calcium channel blocker and a physiological N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist. Methods: American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II adults (n= 114) undergoing general anesthesia for surgery were ...

Preterm infants are at increased risk for serious, lifelong neurologic abnormalities such as cerebral palsy.1,2 As the survival of preterm infants has improved with advances in perinatal care,2 the occurrence of cerebral palsy has increased further, since infants who would previously have died now survive with their cerebral pathology. Currently, more than 30% of children with cerebral palsy ar...

Background Magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine were used as adjuvants to local anesthesia to improve the quality of regional anesthesia. Aims The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine when added to ropivacaine on the quality of infraclavicular brachial plexus block (BPB). Settings and Design This was a prospective randomized doub...

OBJECTIVE To review the available evidence regarding efficacy, benefits, and risks of magnesium sulfate seizure prophylaxis in women with preeclampsia or eclampsia. DATA SOURCES The English-language literature in MEDLINE was searched from 1966 through February 1998 using the terms "magnesium sulfate," "seizure," "preeclampsia," "eclampsia," and "hypertension in pregnancy." Reviews of bibliogr...

BACKGROUND Among hospitalized patients, indications for the measurement of magnesium levels and treatment of hypomagnesemia with intravenous magnesium are not well defined. Recently, there have been reports of worldwide shortages of intravenous magnesium sulphate. OBJECTIVE To examine secular trends in the administration of intravenous magnesium on hospital wards at a tertiary care institutio...

Clinical studies showed beneficial effects of magnesium sulfate regarding the risk of cerebral palsy. However, regimen protocols fluctuate worldwide and risks of adverse effects impacting the vascular system have been reported for human neonates, keeping open the question of the optimal dosing. Using clinically relevant concentrations and doses of magnesium sulfate, experiments consisted of cha...
