- Abstract
- Magnesium enhances the effects of neuromuscular blocking agents. However, there is a paucity of evidence demonstrating possible effects of magnesium on neostigmine-induced recovery from neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium. This study compared the profiles of recovery from neuromuscular blockade between groups treated with magnesium (Group M) and placebo controls (Group C). Sixty-four patients were randomly allocated to Group M or Group C. Patients in Group M received a loading dose of 50 mg/kg magnesium and continuous infusion of 15 mg/kg/hr. Patients in Group C received a comparable amount of saline. Rocuronium at 0.6 mg/kg was used for tracheal intubation and 0.1 mg/kg of rocuronium was additionally administered to maintain train-of-four (TOF) status of 2-3 during surgery. At the end of surgery, neostigmine (50 μg/kg) plus glycopyrrolate (10 μg/kg) were administered, and the recovery time for TOF ratios of 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 was measured. The primary outcome was the time from neostigmine administration to recovery with a TOF ratio of 0.9. In addition, rocuronium onset time (time from administration of rocuronium to 95% suppression of the first TOF twitch response), additional requirements for rocuronium and spontaneous recovery period (the time from administration of rocuronium to reappearance of the first TOF twitch response) were also measured. Neostigmine-induced recovery time was comparable between Group M and Group C (10.6 ± 4.3 vs. 9.1 ± 5.0 min, respectively, p = 0.22). The rocuronium onset time was shorter in Group M, and the spontaneous recovery period was longer in Group M. The amount of additional rocuronium administered was 27% lower in Group M, but this difference was not significant. Magnesium was not shown to prolong neostigmine-induced recovery time from neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium, however, it enhanced the clinical effects of rocuronium.
