چکیده

its extent of spread. Being aware that multiple simultaneous CSF leaks are often present, two separate epidurals may lead to a more complete dural tamponade and better sealing in the upper cervical meninges. Injection at two separate sites may decrease the possibility of spinal compression from a large amount of blood and guarantee a more uniform distribution over the meninges. In conclusion, symptoms related to SIH are the result of a low CSF volume; a considerable spinal loss of CSF has serious complications including subdural hematoma. A two-level epidural blood patch may be an option to extend the distribution of blood when the exact CSF leak site is unknown, or following a failed lumbar patch. A greater volume of autologous blood may uniformly increase CSF pressure and replace the space of the lost CSF.

Use of isotonic nebulised magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to salbutamol in treatment of severe asthma in adults: randomised placebo-controlled trial.

BACKGROUND Intravenous magnesium can cause bronchodilation in treatment of severe asthma, however its effect by the nebulised route is uncertain. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of isotonic magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to nebulised salbutamol in severe attacks of asthma. METHODS We enrolled 52 patients with severe exacerbations of asthma presenting to the emergency departments at tw...

Review of the role of magnesium sulphate in the management of asthma patient at A&E setting

Controversial views exist with regards to the use of intravenous magnesium sulphate in patient with severe asthmatic attack. The benefit of intravenous magnesium sulphate may be masked by the pooling of patients with different pathophysiology. The subsets of patients with severe asthmatic attack who have not responded to nebulised bronchodilator therapy and intravenous steroid therapy may benef...

Intravenous salbutamol for childhood asthma: evidence-based medicine?

Intravenous salbutamol is commonly used to treat children with severe asthma unresponsive to inhaled β2-agonist therapy. However, in this setting, there is little clinical trial data demonstrating its effectiveness. Additionally, there are significant concerns that intravenous salbutamol-dosing recommendations for children with acute asthma are excessive, and unnecessarily raise the potential f...

Nebulized magnesium sulphate versus nebulized salbutamol in acute bronchial asthma: a clinical trial.

Intravenous magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) has successfully been used in the treatment of acute asthma. The present study investigated the efficacy of nebulized MgSO4 as a bronchodilator in acute asthma as compared to nebulized salbutamol. This was a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial. Asthmatics aged 12-60 yrs in acute exacerbation, with a peak expiratory flow (PEF) <300 L x min(-...

The action of magnesium on the heart.

Although it has been repeatedly established both in man and in animal experiments that magnesium has a depressant action on the heart, there is no general agreement about the mechanism of this action, and there are few reports dealing directly with the clinical application of its cardio-inhibitory properties. Zwillinger (1935) studied the effect of magnesium sulphate on paroxysmal tachycardia, ...
