Abstract
Perioperative hypomagnesemia is common in major surgical patients. MgSO4 infusion may be useful in the treatment of arrhythmia, asthma and postoperative shivering and in the prevention of hemodynamic stimulation associated with endotracheal intubation and surgery of pheochromocytoma. It may also enhance muscular relaxation and improve postoperative analgesia. It can be an ideal adjunct to propofol-remifentanil-based total intravenous anesthesia.
Key Words: anesthesia, magnesium, MgSO4, pain medicine
