Abstract
In the field of general anesthesia, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) has become a valuable adjunct because it provides a range of benefits that enhance and optimize conventional aesthetic procedures. This review highlights the various intra-anesthetic benefits of MgSO4 while examining its complex function in the treatment using anesthesia. Magnesium inhibits the release of acetylcholine at the motor endplate and blocks calcium channels at presynaptic nerve terminals. This reduces the amplitude of endplate potential and the excitability of muscle fibers, which increases the potency of a neuromuscular blockade by nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers. This activity may lessen the need for primary muscle relaxants. Moreover, its capacity to potentially reduce the total amount of main aesthetic agents needed emphasizes its function in maximizing anesthesia dosage, ensuring sufficient depth while perhaps potentially reducing adverse effects linked with increased dosages. MgSO4's adaptable qualities present a viable path for improving anesthetic outcomes, possibly improving patient safety and improving surgical results.
