Abstract: Magnesium is an essential chemical element in all organisms, intervening in most cellular enzymatic reactions; thus, its importance in homeostasis and as a therapeutic tool in highly challenging patients such as pediatrics. The primary purpose of this paper was to review the role of magnesium sulfate as an adjuvant drug in pediatric anesthesia. This compound already has the scientific backing in certain aspects such as analgesia or muscle relaxation, but only theoretical or empirical backing in others such as … Show more

“…Magnesium has vasodilatory effects, and is known to reduce the need for alpha-beta blockers [9]. Hypotension is one of the complications of magnesium administration, which can occur when the serum magnesium level exceeds 3-4 mg/dl [9]. Although we could not assess the serum magnesium level, there were no patients with signi cant hypotension.…”

“…There were no differences in the intraoperative mean heart rate and blood pressures between the two groups ( Table 3). During emergence, no differences in the heart rate and systolic blood pressure were found between the two groups whereas the diastolic and mean blood pressures were higher in the control group than in the magnesium group (diastolic blood pressure: 68 [15] vs 60 [11] mmHg, mean differences [95% CI], 8 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] mmHg, p = 0.004; mean blood pressure: 84 [13] vs 76 [10] mmHg, mean differences [95% CI], 7 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] mmHg, p = 0.015). No signi cant oculocardiac re ex occurred that required treatment during anaesthesia.…”
