The Infusion Rate of Mivacurium and Its Spontaneous Neuromuscular Recovery in Magnesium-Treated Parturients

Abstract: Magnesium, used as a standard therapy for severe toxemia, may act to enhance muscle relaxants such as mivacurium, a short-acting drug used in general anesthesia. Among women undergoing a cesarean section who were given a magnesium pretreatment, the infusion rate of mivacurium required to obtain relaxation was lower than that among women who did not receive pretreatment.

“…Magnesium sulphate inhibits the release of acetylcholine, decreases the sensitivity of the neuromuscular junction to acetylcholine and depresses the excitability of the muscle fibre membrane, potentially enhancing non‐depolarising neuromuscular blockade . Succinylcholine blockade seems unaffected by magnesium sulphate . However, magnesium sulphate doubles the duration of mivacurium blockade and reduces infusion dosage .…”

“…[9] It has been demonstrated that pretreatment with MgSO4 increases the clinical duration and recovery index of neuromuscular blocking agents. [10][11][12][13][14][15] This may have clinical consequences, leading to incomplete neuromuscular recovery and residual paralysis at the end of surgery. [16][17][18] Thus quantitative data on the effect of anti-cholinesterase drugs in patients receiving MgSO4 are needed for safe management of neuromuscular block.…”
