[The role of magnesium sulfate in providing hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery: a prospective randomized controlled study].

What Was Tested

The paper reports a study of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc, published as a randomized controlled trial.

Who Took Part

PubMed indexes the participants as young adults, adults and middle-aged adults, both men and women.

How the Study Was Run

The researchers set it up as a randomized and double-blind study.

Because people in this Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc study were split into groups at random, differences between the groups are less likely to reflect who happened to join each one.

As a double-blind Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc study, the assignments were hidden from both participants and investigators until the end.

Their primary endpoint was intraoperative changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) related to pneumoperitoneum, in particular at 1 minute after insufflation.

The secondary endpoints were the haemodynamic effects of pneumoperitoneum in terms of systolic blood pressure (SP), diastolic blood pressure (DP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) from 2 minutes after insufflation to extubation and postoperatively, and the presence of possible adverse reactions related to the administration of magnesium sulphate.

What Was Measured

Topics PubMed links to this paper include Magnesium Sulfate, Cholecystectomy, Laparoscopic, Pneumoperitoneum, Artificial, Hemodynamics, Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and Carbon Dioxide.

The authors tagged it with the keywords Magnesium sulphate, intraoperative haemodynamic stability and laparoscopic surgery.
