The Effect Of Magnesium Sulphate In Attenuating The Upsurge Of Intraocular Pressure During Rapid Sequence Induction By Suxamethonium Chloride: A Prospective Double-Blinded Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial. |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
The use of suxamethonium chloride for rapid sequence induction in patients with open globe injuries may be detrimental to the eye as it increases IOP transiently for 2 to 6 minutes by 10-20 mmHg.
Several methods have been introduced to attenuate the effects of suxamethonium and endotracheal intubation on IOP surge as pre-treatment with a non-depolarizing muscle relaxant, use of nifedipine, nitroglycerin, clonidine, dexmedetomidine, narcotics, tranquilizers, and lidocaine with variable degree of successes and failures.(4,5)
A lot of recent trials emphasized that perioperative magnesium sulphate infusion has a general anesthetic properties that could reduce anesthetic drug consumption and postoperative analgesia requirements in several types of surgery. These effects mediated through its antinociceptive properties as a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. In addition to its role in procedures that necessitate deliberate hypotension as it acted as a calcium channel blocker and direct vasodilator.(11,12) So it possibly controls the undesirable effects of suxamethonium and endotracheal intubation such as increased IOP, mean blood pressure, and heart rate.This study aimed to determine if the intravenous administration of magnesium sulphate (40 mg/kg) before the induction of anesthesia could attenuate the increase of IOP associated with rapid-sequence induction by suxamethonium injection and endotracheal intubation. We hypothesized that magnesium sulphate could be useful in the obtundance of IOP upsurge during endotracheal intubation after suxamethonium injection. |
