ABSTRACT
This comprehensive review explores the potential of magnesium sulfate infusion in mitigating hemodynamic instability during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries. Hemodynamic fluctuations during these procedures pose challenges, and magnesium sulfate, with its vasodilatory, antiarrhythmic, and neuroprotective properties, emerges as a promising intervention. The review critically examines existing literature, emphasizing patient selection criteria, dosage protocols, and a comparative analysis with other hemodynamic stabilizers. Safety considerations, including known adverse effects and risk-benefit assessments, and monitoring and management strategies are elucidated. The implications for ENT surgery are discussed, highlighting the potential for enhanced hemodynamic management and individualized approaches. The review concludes with a call for continued research, emphasizing the ongoing evolution of understanding and practice incorporating magnesium sulfate into perioperative care. The insights offered aim to guide clinicians in navigating this dynamic landscape for improved patient outcomes in ENT surgeries.
