The role of magnesium in perioperative management of intracranial aneurysm surgery: A case series

Abstract

As the motivation to potentially allow for a more expansive role of opioid-sparing anaesthesia in various surgical specialities transpire with new zeal, promising evidence needs to be accumulated to substantiate the same. Appropriate to this context, the index case series highlight the beneficial effects of an intraoperative magnesium sulphate infusion on perioperative hemodynamic profile and postoperative recovery in patients undergoing intracranial cerebral aneurysm surgery.
