Twelve consecutive patients who developed torsade de pointes (polymorphous ventricular tachycardia with marked QT prolongation, TdP) over a 4 year period were treated with intravenous injections of magnesium sulfate. In nine of the patients a single bolus of 2 g completely abolished the TdP within 1 to 5 min, and in three others complete abolition of the TdP was achieved after a second bolus wa...

acomparative study of low dose magnesium sulphate regime and pritchard regime for imminent eclampsia and eclampsia. Aim: To Study the effectiveness, side effects and maternal and perinatal outcome using low dose MgSO4 in comparison with the standard Pritchard regimen. Objective: 1) To study the efficacy of low dose MgSo4 regime for control of convulsions in eclampsia and as seizure prophylaxis ...

The incidence of Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) is increasing in the western world. We hypothesize that magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) could be a contributing factor. MgSO4 might increase the incidence of PPH by induction of vasodilation, tocolytic effects, and effects on the blood like red cell deformity, platelet activity inhibition and a prolonged bleeding time. Based on these effects of MgSO4 a cor...

AIM This research was carried out to compare magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) with isotonic saline in terms of pain control after herniorrhaphy. PATIENTS & METHODS A randomized double-blind study, in which the patients were blind to all. A total of 100 patients who were candidates of herniorrhaphy were randomized into two groups: experimental and control (50 patients in each). Anesthesia was induced...

background and objective: the present study aimed to assess the role of magnesium sulfate (mgso4) sup-plementation after cardiac surgery in pediatric patients, evaluating the incidence of cardiac complications, such as arrhythmia. methods: in this study, 105 children scheduled for elective cardiac surgery were randomly divided into 3 groups. the first group, as the placebo group, received salin...

Sulfate attack is one of the non-negligible factors that induces deterioration in performance and life cycle soil stabilizers. In this paper, degradation mechanism durability slag–fly-ash-based geopolymer stabilized soft (hitherto referred to as SF-GSSS) under sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) magnesium (MgSO4) environment comparatively investigated, slag/fly ash ratios are set S10F0, S9F1, S8F2, S7F3. T...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Vaso-occlusive episodes (VOEs) are the most common complication of sickle cell disease in children. Treatment with magnesium seems to improve cellular hydration and may result in reduced vaso-occlusion. This study aimed to determine if intravenous (IV) magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) reduces length of stay (LOS) in hospital, pain scores, and cumulative analgesia when compared...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of intrapartum magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection (MgSO4-FN) with the delivery room resuscitation and neonatal outcomes of preterm infants in an era of minimisation of invasive mechanical ventilation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Neonatal intensive care units in the Canadian Neonatal Network. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION Preterm in...

BACKGROUND Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is the most effective seizure prophylaxis in the management of severe pre-eclampsia, and its use is progressively spreading in our environment. It was introduced at the pioneer teaching hospital of southeastern Nigeria in 2007. A study on the outcome of its use is therefore necessary. OBJECTIVES The objective was to determine the effect of introducing MgSO...
