Impaired diaphragmatic excursion following magnesium sulfate administration in patients with preeclampsia with severe features: a prospective observational study
Study context
- Population
- Patients with preeclampsia with severe featuresincluded and analysed
- Participants
- 47 patients
- Exposure
- Diaphragmatic excursion before vs after magnesium sulfate administration
- Outcome
- Diaphragmatic excursion assessed by ultrasound
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Diaphragmatic excursion · 20 minutes after magnesium sulfate
- Significant reduction in diaphragmatic excursion 20 minutes after magnesium sulfate administration
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
- Negative correlation between serum magnesium level and diaphragmatic excursion; higher serum magnesium associated with greater diaphragmatic weakness
