Why the study?
Does intravenous magnesium sulfate reduce postoperative serum levels of interleukin-6 and TNF-α in patients undergoing elective CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass?
Does intravenous magnesium sulfate reduce postoperative serum levels of interleukin-6 and TNF-α in patients undergoing elective CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass?
Intravenous magnesium sulfate may help suppress the inflammatory response after elective CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass by reducing IL-6 and TNF-α levels.
Hypothesis-generating for magnesium in post-CABG inflammation; does not support practice change without randomized confirmation.
This study showed that MgSO4 infusion could suppress part of the inflammatory response after CABG with CBP. This was demonstrated by decreased levels of interleukin-6 and TNF-α in postoperative serum levels in elective CABG with CBP.
