“…1989), especially after abdominal surgeries (Lanzinger et al. 2003; Schwarz & Nevarez 2005), as well as in critically ill patients (Ryzen 1989; Tong & Rude 2005). In veterinary medicine, hypomagnesaemia has been identified in 6.1% of hospitalized canine patients (Khanna et al.…”

“…Type 2 diabetes mellitus and major surgery were associated with hypomagnesemia in large studies evaluating abnormalities in serum magnesium in diverse patient populations. 7,9,12 Hypomagnesemia was associated with abdominal surgery in patients cared for by surgical oncologists. Schwarz et al 12 demonstrated significant decreases in potassium, calcium, and phosphate along with hypomagnesemia in patients after laparotomy.…”

“…Electrolyte imbalances associated with hypomagnesemia include hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypoalbuminemia, and hypophosphatemia. 4,5,12,16 Clinical symptoms typical of hypomagnesemia include tetany, positive Chvostek and Trousseau signs, and generalized convolutions. 17 Patients with hypomagnesemia experience a higher rate of atrial dysrhythmias and electrocardiographic changes.…”

“…The hypermagnesemia observed following bowel preparation maybe due to the presence of 3.5 g of magnesium oxide in each sachet of picolax and therefore it can be postulated that if an alternative preparation agent were used, that did not contain a magnesium salt, the observed rate of postoperative hypomagnesemia may have been higher, as observed in the studies by Schwarz et al. [3,4].…”

“…In the critical care environment, hypomagnesemia on admission to ITU has been documented in 61% of patients [2] and has been shown to be associated with a doubling in mortality for patients with equivalent APACHE II scores [6]. In the field of gastrointestinal surgery Schwarz et al have found in patients undergoing laparotomy, for predominantly upper GI malignancies, that postoperative hypomagnesemia occurred in 42% of patients without bowel preparation and in 70% of patients having bowel preparation with sodium phosphate purgative [3,4]. In Schwarz's series no untoward event could be attributed to hypomagnesemia, which was anticipated to be because hypomagnesemia was recognized and treated promptly.…”
