Randomized Controlled Trial
Minimal effective dose of magnesium sulfate for attenuation of intubation response in hypertensive patients.
To study the minimal effective dose of magnesium sulfate to control blood pressure (BP) during intubation in hypertensive patients. ⋯ Magnesium 30 mg/kg is the optimum dose to control BP during intubation in hypertensive patients. A further increase in the dose of magnesium may cause significant hypotension.
