RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) to expectant individuals before childbirth, has been evaluated to reduce the likelihood of mortality and occurrence cerebral palsy in their offspring. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis conducted to determine if were the prophylactic use of magnesium sulfate in women at risk for preterm delivery leads to decrease in the incidence of death or cerebral palsy. METHODS: A comprehensive search of electronic databases was done to identify relevant studies. Selection of eligible studies was based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Data extraction was performed, and the methodological quality of the selected studies was assessed using appropriate evaluative tools. A meta-analysis was carried out to estimate the overall effect of intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate on the incidence of death or cerebral palsy. RESULTS: A total of 7 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. No significant publication bias was observed. The risk of fetal neurological impairment was significantly lower in the MgSO4 group compared to the control group relative risk (RR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.56 to 0.87; I20%). However, neonatal mortality was not significantly associated with MgSO4 injection. (RR = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.88 to 1.21; I2 = 42%). Subgroup analysis was done based on the bolus dosage of MgSO4 and the duration of the trial follow-up. revealing a non-significant differences between-group. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that MgSO4 administration can improve fetal neurological impairment and cerebral palsy but is not linked to reducing mortality. Further studies are necessary to strengthen the evidence and clarify the underlying mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cardiopulmonary, arterial blood gas and propofol-sparing effects of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) constant rate infusion (CRI) in mechanically ventilated dogs maintained under total intravenous anesthesia with propofol. STUDY DESIGN: Blinded, randomized, clinical trial. ANIMALS: A total of 24 healthy adult dogs. METHODS: Dogs were premedicated with intramuscular acepromazine (0.05 mg kg-1) and morphine (0.5 mg kg-1), followed by an intravenous (IV) bolus of saline or MgSO4 (50 mg kg-1 over 15 minutes) and propofol (given to effect to induce anesthesia). Anesthesia was maintained with an IV propofol infusion (beginning at 0.3 mg kg-1 minute-1, adjusted as necessary). Concurrently, one of three IV infusions were administered: GS (0.9% NaCl), GM30 (MgSO4, 30 mg kg-1 hour-1) or GM80 (MgSO4, 80 mg kg-1 hour-1). Propofol induction and maintenance doses were recorded. The following variables were recorded at baseline (T0), after bolus treatment (T1), after beginning mechanical ventilation (T5) and every 15 minutes until the end of the procedure (T15-T120): mean arterial pressure, heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation, end-tidal partial pressure of CO2, temperature, blood gas variables, indirect calorimetry and extubation time. Values of p < 0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: Propofol induction bolus dose was lower in GM30 (31.2%, p = 0.04) and GM80 (38.9%, p = 0.003) than in GS. The maintenance propofol infusion rate in GM80 was 16.9% lower (p = 0.03), resulting in fewer propofol CRI rescues during the perioperative period. GM30 and GM80 exhibited faster extubation times than GS (46.2%, p = 0.002 and 48.9%, p = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Infusion of a 50 mg kg-1 bolus, followed by CRI of MgSO4 (30 and 80 mg kg-1 hour-1), reduces the propofol induction and maintenance (CRI) requirement, maintaining cardiorespiratory stability and reducing the time required to extubation.
RESUMO
Aconite contains four highly toxic diester-diterpene alkaloids, including aconitine, mesaconitine, hypaconitine, and jesaconitine, in all plant parts. Aconite has been used as for suicide, murder, and as an arrow poison since ancient Greek and Roman times. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are the most common cause of death in aconite poisoning, and antiarrhythmic drugs and cardioversion are ineffective. A 61-year-old woman ingested the crushed raw roots of a single aconite plant. An ambulance brought her to the Tottori University Hospital 30 min after ingestion. She had a history of chronic stage 5 kidney disease but was not on dialysis. Her heart rate (HR) was 120 bpm upon arrival. The patient developed sustained supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) at an HR of 165 bpm with frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) 15 min after arrival. She then developed sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) at an HR of 200 bpm 20 min after arrival, which progressed to pulseless polymorphic VT. Cardioversion was unsuccessful. External cardiac massage restored spontaneous circulation; however, her underlying rhythm remained sustained SVT with frequent PVCs. These arrhythmias repeatedly led to circulatory arrest. She was administered six intravenous boluses of 2 g of MgSO4 in the emergency department, which prevented her from going into sustained pulseless VT. Hemoperfusion (HP) with activated charcoal was performed 1.5 h after arrival. The aconitine, mesaconitine, and hypaconitine plasma concentrations were high at 8.9, 23.5, and 5.5 ng/mL, respectively, before the start of HP but decreased to 1.7, 4.0, and 2.7 ng/mL, respectively, after 7 h of HP. She returned to sinus rhythm on the second day of hospitalization; however, the patient required maintenance hemodialysis. We concluded that high-dose IV MgSO4 is an effective treatment for fatal tachyarrhythmias due to aconite poisoning, and that in cases of renal failure, HP may be required to remove aconite toxins from the body.
RESUMO
Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is a critical public health issue, particularly in agricultural regions where these compounds are extensively used as pesticides. The toxic effects of OP compounds arise from their inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, leading to an accumulation of acetylcholine and a subsequent cholinergic crisis, which can be fatal if not promptly treated. Traditional management of OP poisoning includes the administration of atropine and pralidoxime; however, these treatments often fall short of reducing the high morbidity and mortality associated with severe cases. Recent research has highlighted the potential of magnesium sulfate as an adjunctive treatment for OP poisoning. Magnesium sulfate exerts its beneficial effects through mechanisms such as calcium channel blockade and stabilization of neuromuscular junctions, which help mitigate the cholinergic hyperactivity induced by OP compounds. Clinical studies have shown that magnesium sulfate can significantly reduce the duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stays and improve overall patient outcomes. This narrative review aims to comprehensively analyze current insights into using magnesium sulfate to manage OP poisoning. It discusses the pathophysiology of OP poisoning, the pharmacological action of magnesium sulfate, and the clinical evidence supporting its use. Furthermore, the review will address the safety profile of magnesium sulfate and its potential role in current treatment guidelines. By synthesizing available evidence, this review seeks to establish magnesium sulfate as a game-changer in the management of OP poisoning, ultimately contributing to better clinical practices and patient outcomes.
RESUMO
As one of the raw materials of basic magnesium sulfate cement (BMSC), the activity of light-burned magnesium oxide (MgO) has an important effect on the hydration rate, hydration products, and mechanical properties of BMSC. To reveal the influence of packaging method, storage environment, and storage time on the activity of MgO and the mechanical properties of BMSC, an experiment was conducted by using ordinary woven bags, peritoneal woven bags, and plastic and paper compound bags to store the finished BMSC and the raw materials (light-burned MgO, MgSO4·7H2O, fly ash, and a chemical additive) under the conditions of natural environment, sealed environment, and wet environment, respectively. Comparative analysis of the effects of packaging method, storage conditions, and storage time on the activity of MgO and the mechanical properties of BMSC was performed through the mechanical strength test of mortar specimens. The results showed that in a sealed environment, the loss of a-MgO content in light-burned MgO was minimized, which was more conducive to keeping the mechanical properties of BMSC stable. In the wet environment, the mechanical strength of BMSC was significantly reduced in the early stage (1 day) due to the significant reduction in the activity of MgO, and the mechanical strength of the finished BMSC and prepared BMSC after 120 days of storage was still lost, regardless of the packaging method. However, the storage environment and packaging method had relatively little effect on the late mechanical strength (28 days) of BMSC. It is advisable to use ordinary woven bags for packaging in natural and sealed environments as this is more economical for engineering applications. Plastic and paper compound bags are superior to ordinary woven bags and peritoneal woven bags in wet environments.
RESUMO
Background/Objective: Wound infiltration with local anesthetics emerges as a promising modality for postoperative pain alleviation. However, such strategies in neck surgery have not been a well-established practice. To assess wound infiltration with ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate for pain relief following thyroid surgery. Methods: This prospective, double-blind, randomized study enrolled 68 patients who underwent thyroid surgery. Concerning the solution used for surgical wound infiltration, the study participants were randomly allocated into three groups: (1) 100 mg of ropivacaine (Group R); (2) 100 mg of ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate 10 mg/kg (Group RMg); and (3) normal saline which served as a placebo (Group P). Pain perception both at rest and at movement, was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 30 min, as well as at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively. The total consumption of analgesics in morphine equivalents was also recorded. Moreover, adverse effects and patient satisfaction were recorded. Cortisol, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels were measured 30 min before infiltration and 6 h and 24 h postoperatively. Results: Demographics and clinical characteristics were similar between the groups. The VAS scores at rest and during movement were significantly lower in the RMg group compared to the saline or ropivacaine groups. Total analgesic consumption was also significantly lower in the RMg group. No operation-, wound-, or infiltration-related adverse effects were recorded in the study groups. Better overall satisfaction was obtained for the RMg group. Conclusions: Ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate wound infiltration provided better pain control and the analgesic effect was more significant, contributing to effective postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
RESUMO
This meta-analysis investigated the effects of intravenous magnesium sulfate on the postoperative recovery quality, as assessed using the Quality of Recovery (QoR) questionnaire, in adult surgical patients. Seven randomized controlled trials involving 622 patients were included. Compared with the placebo, magnesium sulfate significantly improved the global QoR score on postoperative day 1 (standardized mean difference [SMD]: 1.24; 95% confidence interval: 0.70-1.78; p < 0.00001). It also enhanced specific QoR dimensions, with substantial effects on pain (SMD: 1, p < 0.00001) and physical comfort (SMD: 0.85, p < 0.0001), a moderate effect on emotional state (SMD: 0.65, p = 0.002), and small improvements in physical independence (SMD: 0.43, p < 0.00001) and psychological support (SMD: 0.37, p < 0.0001). In addition, magnesium sulfate reduced the intraoperative opioid consumption (SMD: -0.66, p < 0.0001), postoperative pain severity, and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (risk ratio: 0.48, p = 0.008). The extubation times were unaffected, whereas the post-anesthesia care unit stay was slightly prolonged. These findings highlight the potential of magnesium sulfate as a valuable adjunct for multimodal analgesia and enhanced recovery. Future studies should aim to elucidate the optimal dosing strategies, timing of administration, and specific surgical populations that may derive maximum benefits.

INTRODUCTION: Magnesium sulfate is the most utilized anticonvulsant for treating patients with eclampsia and pre-eclampsia. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the 12-h regimen of magnesium sulfate outweighs the 24-h regimen in both efficacy and safety in the management of patients with mild or severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. METHODS: We searched six electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Ovid, and Google Scholar. This search was conducted to yield any studies that were published until 15 January 2023. We did the statistical analysis plan by Review Manager Software version 5.4. RESULTS: We included 13 randomized control trials with 2813 patients in this systematic review. Our meta-analysis revealed that there were no statistically significant differences between the 12-h regimen of the magnesium sulfate group and the 24-h regimen of the magnesium sulfate group in our outcome of interest: occurrence of seizure (RD: -0.00, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.00], P = 0.56), diminished deep tendon reflexes (RD: -0.00, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.01], P = 0.80), respiratory depression (RD: -0.00, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.01], P = 0.57), and pulmonary edema (RD: -0.00, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.01], P = 0.85). CONCLUSION: Our study showed no statistically significant difference in effectiveness and toxicity risk between the 12-h and 24-h regimens.

The direct discharge of boron mud poses significant environmental hazards to soil and groundwater. Despite extensive research efforts, the reprocessing of boron mud has not yielded significant advancements. Recently, the development of magnesium cement has spurred interest in the reutilization of boron mud. However, the direct treatment of boron mud remains challenging, necessitating pre-treatment in most studies to achieve substantial results. Consequently, research on the direct incorporation of untreated boron mud is scarce. This study explores the feasibility of using uncalcined boron mud as a base material in basic magnesium sulfate cement (BMSC), composed of lightly calcined magnesia and magnesium sulfate heptahydrate. The effects of varying boron mud content on the compressive strength of the BMSC system were investigated. The results indicate that the 5·1·7 phase is the primary strength phase of BMSC. When the boron mud content is 30%, the uncalcined boron mud has a minimal impact on the formation of the 5·1·7 phase. Additionally, the 28 days compressive strength of BMSC-B30 showed a slight difference compared to the control group BMSC-C, registering at 66.7 MPa. TG-DSC analysis revealed that the presence of a small amount of boron mud inhibits the micro-expansion trend of the BMSC structure. Furthermore, XRD and SEM analyses confirmed that the addition of uncalcined boron mud does not significantly alter the phase structure of the 5·1·7 phase in BMSC. This study provides a foundational basis for the long-term development of direct boron mud treatment.
RESUMO
Hypermagnesemia commonly occurs in patients with renal dysfunction. Diagnosing hypermagnesemia represents a challenge due to its rarity and the absence of routine monitoring of magnesium levels. Furthermore, the lack of awareness among clinicians regarding this uncommon condition frequently leads to delayed diagnoses. Few patients survive with a serum magnesium level exceeding 7 mmol/L. This article presents a case study of near-fatal hypermagnesemia resulting from the oral administration of Epsom salts in a patient with normal renal function. A 60-year-old female presented to the gastroenterology department on Oct. 6, 2023, with a 3-day history of black stools. She underwent subtotal gastrectomy in 2005 and has a stable history of nephrotic syndrome. To investigate the cause of her bleeding, electronic gastroscopy and colonoscopy were scheduled for Oct. 11, 2023. She experienced a sudden loss of consciousness 30 min after the ingestion of Epsom salts. The attending physician suspected a severe magnesium poisoning. She was promptly administered calcium gluconate, underwent tracheal intubation with ambu bag ventilation, and received early continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Swift diagnosis and CRRT contributed to a reduction in her serum magnesium levels from an initial 8.71 mmol/L to 1.35 mmol/L, leading to a remarkable improvement in the toxic symptoms associated with hypermagnesemia. Subsequently, she was managed in the gastroenterology department, with gastroscopy revealing bleeding from the gastrointestinal anastomotic ulcer. Following conservative treatments including acid suppression, stomach protection, and hemostasis, her symptoms improved, and she was successfully discharged. This study aims to alert clinicians to the possibility of hypermagnesemia in individuals with normal renal function. Physicians should exercise caution when prescribing Epsom salts to patients with underlying gastrointestinal conditions. If necessary, alternative drug therapies may be considered to mitigate the risk of hypermagnesemia. Timely intervention is pivotal in averting life-threatening complications linked to hypermagnesemia.
RESUMO
Ceftriaxone (CTRX) is a commonly used cephalosporin antibiotic. It is suggested that monitoring plasma/serum concentrations is helpful for its safe use. This study aimed to develop and validate an analytical method for measuring CTRX concentrations in human serum according to International Conference on Harmonization guideline M10. Ten microliters of serum sample was purified using a salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction procedure with magnesium sulfate. The upper layer was then diluted threefold and analyzed using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based method with a total run time of 12 min. The linear calibration curve was obtained over the concentration range 5-500 µg/ml. The within-run accuracy varied from 0.2 to 6.5%, and the precision was ≤8.0%. The between-run accuracy and precision ranged from 0.7% to 5.6% and ≤6.4%, respectively. Significant carryover was resolved by injecting four blanks after high-concentration CTRX samples. The recovery rates from spiked serum at low and high concentrations were 44.4 and 43.4%, respectively. Other factors, including selectivity, matrix effects, stability, dilution integrity and reinjection reproducibility also met the acceptance criteria. Serum concentrations in 14 samples obtained from two participants receiving 2 g/day of CTRX were successfully determined using this method.

Optimizing pain management in spinal surgery is crucial for preventing adverse events due to delayed mobilization. Magnesium sulfate has potential benefits in spinal surgery because of its analgesic properties and modulation of neurotransmitters and autonomic nervous system. Existing evidence regarding the use of magnesium sulfate is partial and controversial, necessitating a comprehensive meta-analysis to evaluate its efficacy and safety. The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate in spinal surgery compared to other available options. This meta-analysis adhered to the PRISMA guidelines. Patients undergoing spinal surgery were included, with the intervention group receiving intravenous magnesium sulfate (MS) at various doses or combinations, whereas the comparison group received other alternatives or a placebo. The efficacy and safety outcomes were assessed. Data were collected from multiple databases and analyzed using Review Manager version 5.4. Heterogeneity was assessed and fixed- or random-effects models were applied. The meta-analysis included eight studies (n = 541). Magnesium sulfate demonstrated significant reductions in pain at 24 h (MD -0.20, 95% CI: -0.39 to -0.02) and opioid consumption (SMD -0.66, 95% CI: -0.95 to -0.38) compared to placebo. Additionally, a decrease in the use of muscle relaxants (SMD -0.91, 95% CI: -1.65 to -0.17) and remifentanil (SMD -1.52, 95% CI: -1.98 to -1.05) was observed. In contrast, an increase in extubation time (MD 2.42, 95% CI: 1.14 to 3.71) and verbal response (MD 1.85, 95% CI: 1.13 to 2.58) was observed compared to dexmedetomidine. In conclusion, magnesium sulfate administration in spinal surgery reduced pain and opioid consumption, and prolonged orientation and verbal response. No significant differences in blood pressure or heart rate were observed between the groups.
RESUMO
Despite advances in obstetric care, postpartum eclampsia continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality among mothers. Although the most common treatment for eclampsia during the postpartum phase is magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), a small percentage of individuals show resistance to this approach. Clinical challenges arise from MgSO4 resistance, which calls for different approaches to care to avoid unfavorable consequences for mothers. In this case study, we provide a thorough clinical description of a 19-year-old primigravida who gave birth at 37 weeks and developed postpartum eclampsia and did not improve with MgSO4 treatment. This case thus highlights the significance of accurate clinical diagnosis of patients and prompt use of alternative therapy modalities. We also discuss possible approaches to treating this uncommon but serious illness.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To establish the population pharmacokinetics (PPK) of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4)in women with preeclampsia (PE), and to determine the key covariates having an effect in magnesium pharmacokinetics in Chinese PE. METHODS: Pregnant women with PE prescribed MgSO4 were enrolled in this prospective study from April 2021 to April 2023. On the initial day of administration, the patients were administered a loading dose of 5 g in conjunction with 10 g of magnesium sulfate as a maintenance dose. On the second day, only the maintenance dose was administration, and maternal blood samples were taken at 0, 4, 5, and 12 h after the second day's 10 g maintenance dose. The software Phoenix was used to estimate PPK parameters of MgSO4, such as clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (V), and to model PPK models with patient demographic, clinical, and laboratory covariates. RESULTS: A total of 199 blood samples were collected from 51 women with PE and PPK profiles were analyzed. The PPK of MgSO4 is consistent with to a one-compartment model. The base model adequately described the maternal serum magnesium concentrations after magnesium administration. The population parameter estimates were as follows: CL was 2.98 L/h, V was 25.07 L. The model predictions changed significantly with covariates (BMI, creatinine clearance, and furosemide). Furosemide statistically influences V. The creatinine clearance, BMI and furosemide jointly affects CL. Monte Carlo simulation results showed that a loading dose combined with a maintenance dose would need to be administered daily to achieve the therapeutic blood magnesium concentrations. For the non-furosemide group, the optimal dosing regimen was a 5 g loading dose combined with a 10 g maintenance dose of MgSO4. For the furosemide group, the optimal dosing regimen was a 2.5 g loading dose combined with a 10 g maintenance dose of MgSO4. CONCLUSIONS: The magnesium PPK model was successfully developed and evaluated in Chinese preeclampsia population, and the dose optimization of MgSO4 was completed through Monte Carlo simulation.

OBJECTIVE: This paper was aimed at unveiling the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium (LMWH) combined with magnesium sulfate and labetalol on coagulation, vascular endothelial function, and pregnancy outcome in early-onset severe preeclampsia (EOSP). METHODS: Pregnant women with EOSP were divided into the control group and the study group, each with 62 cases. Patients in the control group were treated with labetalol and magnesium sulfate, and those in the study group were treated with LMWH in combination with the control grou Blood pressure (systolic blood pressure [SBP] and diastolic blood pressure [DBP]), 24-h urine protein, coagulation indices [D-dimer (D-D), plasma fibrinogen (Fg), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and prothrombin time (TT)], endothelial function [endothelin (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO)], oxidative stress indices [oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL), lipid peroxidation (LPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA)], pregnancy outcome, and adverse effects occurred in the two groups were compared. RESULTS: After treatment, lower SBP, DBP, and 24-h urine protein levels; lower Fg and D-D levels; higher PT, APPT, and TT levels; higher NO levels; lower ET-1 levels; lower ox-LDL, MDA, and LPO levels; higher SOD levels; and lower incidence of adverse pregnancy and adverse reactions were noted in the study group in contrast to the control group. CONCLUSION: EOSP patients given with LMWH combined with magnesium sulfate and labetalol can effectively reduce the patient's blood pressure and urinary protein level; improve coagulation function, oxidative stress, and vascular endothelial function indices; reduce the adverse pregnancy outcomes; and improve the safety of treatment.
RESUMO
Models of inflammation, oxidative stress, hyperoxia and hypoxia have demonstrated that magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), a commonly used drug in obstetrics, has neuroprotective potential. In the present study, the effects of MgSO4 treatment on inflammation, oxidative stress and fetal brain histopathology were evaluated in an experimental rat model following sevoflurane (Sv) exposure during the mid-gestational period. Rats were randomly divided into groups: C (control; no injections or anesthesia), Sv (exposure to 2.5% Sv for 2 h), MgSO4 (administered 270 mg/kg MgSO4 intraperitoneally) and Sv + MgSO4 (Sv administered 30 min after MgSO4 injection). Inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were measured in the serum and neurotoxicity was investigated histopathologically in fetal brain tissue. Short-term mid-gestational exposure to a 1.1 minimum alveolar concentration of Sv did not significantly increase the levels of any of the measured biochemical markers, except for TNF-α. Histopathological evaluations demonstrated no findings suggestive of pathological apoptosis, neuroinflammation or oxidative stress-induced cell damage. MgSO4 injection prior to anesthesia caused no significant differences in biochemical or histopathological marker levels compared to the C and Sv groups. The present study indicated that short-term exposure to Sv could potentially be considered a harmless external stimulus to the fetal brain.
RESUMO
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Investigating the effect of magnesium sulfate (MS) on emergence agitation (EA) in adult surgical patients following general anesthesia (GA). DESIGN: Systematic literature review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO number: CRD42023461988). SETTING: Review of published literature. PATIENTS: Adults undergoing GA. INTERVENTIONS: Intravenous administration of MS. MEASUREMENTS: We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science for publications until September 14, 2023. The primary outcome was the incidence of EA, while the secondary outcomes included the impact of MS on postoperative agitation score (PAS), emergence variables and adverse events. Relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) measured dichotomous outcome, while standardized mean difference (SMD) or mean difference (MD) with 95% CI measured continuous outcomes. MAIN RESULTS: Meta-analysis of five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) indicated that MS was associated with a lower incidence of EA at various time points (0 min: RR = 0.62, 95% CI [0.41, 0.95]; p = 0.183, I2 = 43.6%; 5 min: RR = 0.29, 95% CI [0.16, 0.52]; p = 0.211, I2 = 36%; 10 min: RR = 0.14, 95% CI [0.06, 0.32]; p = 0.449, I2 = 0%; 15 min: RR = 0.11, 95% CI [0.02, 0.55]; p = 0.265, I2 = 19.5%; 30 min: RR = 0.05, 95% CI [0.00, 0.91]; the postoperative period: RR = 0.21, 95% CI [0.09, 0.49]; p = 0.724, I2 = 0%;). Additionally, MS was associated with a reduced PAS at various time points except for 0 min. However, no significant differences were observed in extubation time, the length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit, postoperative nausea and vomiting or total complications. CONCLUSIONS: Limited available evidence suggests that MS was associated with a lower incidence of EA. Nevertheless, further high-quality studies are warranted to strengthen and validate the effect of MS in preventing EA in adult surgical patients.

Background: In this study, the effect of magnesium sulfate and labetalol in treating pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and its influence on anxiety and depression in patients are observed, and new ideas for treating anxiety and depression in PIH are introduced. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to select patients with PlH diagnosed from July 2020 to July 2023 from Affiliated Hospital of Electronic Science and Technology University and Chengdu Women' s and Children's Central Hospital in Chengdu of Sichuan Province. The changes in blood pressure, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and generalized anxiety disorder 7 (GAD-7) in patients with hypertensive pregnancy were collected and analyzed. Results: In our investigation, 219 patients completed the study, and 36.1% (79/219) of them developed anxiety and depression. According to whether the patients were treated with magnesium sulfate and labetalol, 49 cases were assigned to the magnesium sulfate and labetalol treatment (MSLT) group, and 30 cases were assigned to the conventional treatment (CT) group. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale scores and GAD-7 scores in the MSLT group were significantly lower than those in the CT group, indicating that magnesium sulfate and labetalol can improve anxiety and depression in hypertensive patients during pregnancy. The difference was statistically significant (P < .05). According to the changes in systolic blood pressure, the clinical efficacy of patients was evaluated, and no significant difference in efficacy existed between the MSLT and CT groups. Conclusion: Magnesium sulfate and labetalol can control the blood pressure of patients with PIH and indirectly improve anxiety and depression in patients with PIH, thereby introducing new ideas for the treatment of PIH accompanied by anxiety and depression.
RESUMO
Purpose: To comprehensively understand the effects of intra-operative infusion of magnesium sulfate on patients who underwent orthognathic surgery, including remifentanil consumption, postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), inflammatory response, and serum magnesium levels. Methods: Seventy-five adult patients undergoing orthognathic surgery under general balanced anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups. One group (Group M) received 50 mg/kg of magnesium sulfate in 20 mL 0.9 % saline after intubation, followed by a continuous infusion at a rate of 15 mg/kg/h until 30 min before the anticipated end of surgery. The other group (Group C) received an equal volume of isotonic saline as a placebo. (Clinical trial registration number: chiCTR2100045981). Results: The primary outcome was remifentanil consumption. The secondary outcomes included the pain score assessed using the verbal numerical rating scale (VNRS) and PONV assessed using a Likert scale. Remifentanil comsumption in Group M was lower than Group C (mean ± SD: 0.146 ± 0.04 µg/kg/min vs. 0.173 ± 0.04 µg/kg/min, P = 0.003). At 2 h after surgery, patients in Group C suffered more severe PONV than those in Group M (median [interquartile range, IQR]: 1 [3] vs. 1 [0], mean rank: 31.45 vs. 42.71, P = 0.040). At post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), postoperative pain in Group C was severe than Group M (3 [1] vs. 3 [0], mean rank: 31.45 vs. 42.71, P = 0.013). Changes in haemodynamics and surgical field scores did not differ between the groups (all P > 0.05). The levels of cytokines (IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-a, and MIP-1ß) were not significantly different between the groups after surgery (all P > 0.05). Postoperative serum magnesium levels in Group C were lower than those in Group M (0.74 ± 0.07 mmol/L vs. 0.91 ± 0.08 mmol/L, P = 0.000) and the preoperative level (0.74 ± 0.07 mmol/L vs. 0.83 ± 0.06 mmol/L, P = 0.219). Conclusions: In orthognathic surgery, magnesium sulfate administration can reduce remifentanil requirement and relieve PONV and postoperative pain in the early postoperative phase.
