Comparison of Two Different Doses of Prophylactic Intravenous Magnesium Sulphate for the Prevention of Shivering in Patients Undergoing Procedures Under Spinal Anesthesia
Both 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg prophylactic IV magnesium sulfate effectively prevented shivering after spinal anesthesia without significant hemodynamic instability. The lower dose (25 mg/kg) demonstrated equivalent efficacy and safety, supporting its use as a preferable dose for routine prophylaxis.
