“…The impact of MgSO 4 on forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were assessed in different clinical trials (Bessmertny et al, 2002[13]; Bloch et al, 1995[15]; Boonyavorakul et al, 2000[16]; Devi et al, 1997[32]; Gallegos-Solorzano et al, 2010[43]; Green and Rothrock, 1992[51]; Hughes et al, 2003[65]; Mahajan et al, 2004[97]; Silverman et al, 2002[141]; Tiffany et al, 1993[152]). In children, brief infusion and maximum weight-based dosage of MgSO 4 have been suggested for the management of severely ill asthmatic patients in the ICU (Egelund et al, 2013[36]; Liu et al, 2016[94]). Up to 2.5 gram of Mg loading dose with β-agonist and corticosteroid (methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone, and dexamethasone) were reported to be efficacious in the management of asthma (British Thoracic Society Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines, 2008[20]).…”
