Evaluation of the Role of Low Dose Magnesium Sulfate in Anesthesia for Toxic Goiter Resection

Plain-language summary

Anesthesia for toxic goiter removal is a challenging because of of hemodynamic instability especially during induction, intubation, manipulations of the gland, after removal of the gland and during emergence. So, hemodynamic stability is required all through the operation and even in the first 12 hours of the postoperative period to protect against complications e.g., hypertension, tachycardia, myocardial ischemia, bleeding and thyrotoxic crisis.Mg sulphate used in blunting pressor response during laryngoscopy and intubation. Also it was used in controlled hypotension technique. Also it was reported in decreasing postoperative nausea, vomiting, shivering and postoperative complications compared to controlled group.
