Effects of magnesium sulphate on postoperative coagulation, measured by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®)
Summary We investigated the effects of magnesium sulphate on blood coagulation profiles using rotational thromboelastometry in gynaecological patients undergoing pelviscopic surgery. Patients were randomly allocated to the magnesium group (n = 20) or control group (n = 20). The magnesium group recei...

We investigated the effects of magnesium sulphate on blood coagulation profiles using rotational thromboelastometry in gynaecological patients undergoing pelviscopic surgery. Patients were randomly allocated to the magnesium group (n = 20) or control group (n = 20). The magnesium group received magnesium sulphate (50 mg.kg−1 followed by continuous infusion of 15 mg.kg−1.h−1), whereas the control group received the same volume of isotonic saline according to the same methods. Mean (SD) postoperative serum magnesium levels were 1.58 (0.17) mmol.l−1 in the magnesium group compared with 0.98 (0.06) mmol.l−1 in the control group (p |
