Of the 157 anesthesiologists who responded to this survey, 57 (36.0%) reported using magnesium sulfate in anesthesia. All patients received standard therapy for asthma, while the treatment group received an intravenous magnesium sulfate bolus of 50-75 mg/kg (0.2-0.3 mmol/kg) followed by 40 mg/kg/h (0.16 mmol/kg/h) for 4 h. Patients were monitored for cardiorespiratory complications. The treatment group underwent four blood draws to assess pharmacokinetic parameters. Results: Of the 157 anesthesiologists who responded to this survey, 57 (36.0%) reported using magnesium sulfate in anesthesia. The highest participants 50 years above 48(30.5%), 31-40 years 28(17.8%) and 0-10 years 04(2.5%). The frequency of use of adjuvant drugs in anesthesia is described. The number and percentage of clinical effects (n/%) for the use of magnesium sulfate in anesthesia were (in descending order, more than one response per participant allowed): postoperative analgesia (41/71.9%), reduction of anesthetic consumption (59/68.4%), prevention and treatment of preeclampsia and seizures in eclampsia (36/63.1%), prevention and treatment of arrhythmias (29/50.8%), reduction of the dose .......
