The Effect of Intravenous Magnesium Sulfate on Laryngospasm After Elective Adenotonsillectomy Surgery in Children

Abstract

Intravenous magnesium sulfate with dose of 15 mg/kg could not prevent laryngospasm and coughing after removal of the endotracheal tube in patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy; however, it reduced coughing and laryngospasm in the magnesium sulfate group compared with the control group.
