conclusions the addition of magnesium sulfate to lidocaine increased the duration of motor and sensory axillary block in the upper extremities during surgeries when compared to the use of lidocaine alone. results a total of 60 patients were included in the study with 30 patients having received lidocaine plus magnesium and the other 30 patients having received lidocaine plus normal saline. the ...

background: muscle relaxant agents usually use to facilitate tracheal intubation; however, sometimes limitations exist. magnesium (mg) sulfate is a candidate for muscle relaxant substitute. this study was designed to determine the effect of mg sulfate accompanied with propofol and fentanyl in patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. materials and methods: in a double?blind randomized protocol an...

migraine is one of the common varieties of headache. it involves 4 to 6 percent of men and 13 to 16 percent of women under 30 years in more than 80% of cases. some studies have shown that in 50% of patients serum magnesium level decreases during attacks of headache and using magnesium tablets and intravenous magnesium sulfate is more effective for treatment of migraine attack, than placebo. thi...

background: preterm labor is the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality so it may be necessary to administer tocolytics for treatment of it. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate and nifedipine in the management of preterm labor. materials and methods: 100 women with documented preterm labor were randomly assigned to receive magnes...

background: deliberate hypotension is a strategy that reduces intraoperative bleeding and increases the speed of surgery in otolaryngology procedures. magnesium (mg) sulfate is a vasodilator agent that reduces intraoperative hypnotic requirements and in combination with analgesic agents, it reduces intraoperative and postoperative pain. in this study we evaluated the use of intravenous mg sulfa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Post-operative pain control is an important concern for both patients and physicians. Magnesium is being used as an adjuvant for anesthesia and analgesia during and after various surgeries. We aimed to investigate the effects of intravenous magnesium sulfate on post-operative analgesia after laminectomy. Methods Materials: In this randomized double-blind controlled cli...

Magnesium sulfate is widely used in obstetrics and is drug of choice in two important complications of pregnancy, preeclampsia and preterm labor. The antagonistic effects of magnesium sulfate on calcium ion and on platelet aggregation may lead to changes in bleeding time. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of magnesium sulfate on bleeding time in women with threatened preterm labor...

BACKGROUND Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy result in significant maternal morbidity and mortality. State and national guidelines have been proposed to increase treatment of patients with hypertensive emergencies or critically elevated blood pressures. There are limited data available to assess the impact of these recommendations on maternal morbidity. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this prospec...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hemodynamic response to airway stimuli is a common phenomenon and its management is important to reduce the systemic repercussions. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of intravenous magnesium sulfate versus lidocaine on this reflex hemodynamics after laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. METHODS This single-center, prospective, double-blind, rando...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Parenterally administered MgSO4 is neuroprotective in standard animal models of focal cerebral ischemia and in many other paradigms of brain injury. Previous small clinical trials in stroke patients have explored the safety and tolerability of different infusion regimens. This study was undertaken to optimize the regimen for a multicenter trial. METHODS Within 24 hours ...
