Why the study?
Does magnesium administration reduce postoperative ventricular dysrhythmias and improve hemodynamics in cardiac surgery patients?
Does magnesium administration reduce postoperative ventricular dysrhythmias and improve hemodynamics in cardiac surgery patients?
Magnesium administration in cardiac surgery patients reduces postoperative ventricular dysrhythmias and improves early postoperative hemodynamics.
Supports magnesium use after cardiac surgery; confirms RCT benefits on arrhythmias and hemodynamics.
Total and ultrafilterable hypomagnesemia are prevalent findings in cardiac surgery patients, and postoperative hypomagnesemia is strongly associated with clinically important morbidity. Magnesium administration decreased the frequency of postoperative ventricular dysrhythmias and increased the stroke volume and thereby cardiac index in the early postoperative period.
