Purpose: Magnesium ions are essential inorganic ions in the body, playing a crucial role in normal physiological functions. Previous studies have shown that supplementing magnesium sulfate can provide survival advantages for critically ill patients. Our study aimed to explore whether intravenous magnesium sulfate could provide a survival advantage in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study based on the Medical Information Mart in Intensive Care (MIMIC) IV database. The study participants were CS patients. The study endpoints were 30-day, 90-day, and 360-day all-cause mortality. The external validation was performed in the eICU 2.0 database.
Results: The pre-matched and propensity score-matched (PSM) cohorts included 2547 and 830 patients, respectively. In the overall patient cohort, multivariable Cox regression showed that magnesium supplementation was associated with a reduced risk of 30-day (HR 0.635; 95% CI 0.539, 0.749; p < 0.001), 90-day (HR 0.687; 95% CI 0.591, 0.749; p < 0.001), and 360-day all-cause mortality (HR 0.681; 95% CI 0.593, 0.782; p < 0.001). This association remained consistent after PSM in 30-day (HR 0.624; 95% CI 0.506, 0.768; p < 0.001), 90-day (HR 0.640; 95% CI 0.530, 0.774; p < 0.001), and 360-day all-cause mortality (HR 0.629; 95% CI 0.529, 0.749; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis found that the effect of the magnesium supplement was consistent in different subgroup patients, including in patients with hypomagnesemia versus non-hypomagnesemia (all p-interaction > 0.05). In 1867 CS patients from eICU 2.0 for external validation, after PSM, intravenous magnesium sulfate use was associated with lower in-hospital (HR 0.742; 95% CI 0.578, 0.952; p = 0.019) and in-ICU all-cause mortality (HR 0.729; 95% CI 0.555, 0.958; p = 0.023).
Conclusion: Intravenous magnesium sulfate use was associated with reduced risk of all-cause mortality in patients with CS, and this benefit was not affected by patients' serum magnesium levels. Prospective studies are warranted to verify this finding.

Introduction: The goal of perioperative management in reactive airway disease (RAD) patients is to ensure optimal airway stability, maintain adequate oxygenation, and reduce the need for mechanical ventilation while minimizing airway irritation and inflammation. Due to the airway hyperresponsiveness and increased risk of respiratory complications in RAD patients, non-opioid adjuncts that provide both bronchodilation and analgesia are preferred. Lignocaine and magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) have emerged as effective agents in this context.

Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complication following endotracheal intubation. Various pharmacological interventions have been explored for POST prevention, with budesonide emerging as a promising option due to its anti-inflammatory properties. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library were searched following PRISMA guidelines.

Background And Objectives: While urinary catheters are widely utilized during cesarean delivery, little evidence exists to support the practice, and it may be associated with increased risk of urinary tract infections and unnecessary intervention. In this study we aim to describe postoperative voiding patterns and assess the prevalence of complications in patients undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery without an indwelling intraoperative urinary catheter. Materials and methods: This is a prospective observational cohort of patients undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery at an urban safety-net teaching institution from April 2022 to April 2023.

Background: Nikethamide, a respiratory stimulant, is used to treat hypoxemia caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but it carries a risk of convulsions. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO), a seizure inhibitor, might serve as a rescue agent against nikethamide-induced seizures.
Aim: To investigate the therapeutic effect of MgSO on nikethamide -induced seizures in COVID-19 patients through animal experiments, providing experimental support for the clinical application of MgSO in preventing and treating seizures caused by nikethamide.
