Role of Neuromuscular Junction Monitoring in Management of a Postpartum Eclamptic Patient with Iatrogenic Hypermagnesemia
Abstract
Accidental hypermagnesemia is a common and often missed complication during treatment in a postpartum eclamptic patient. As symptomatic hypermagnesemia leads to neuromuscular junction blockade, neuromuscular junction monitoring serves the purpose of vigilant monitoring and prevents iatrogenic overdose of magnesium.
