Abstract
Aim: Magnesium (Mg) is frequently used in obstetrics as an anticonvulsant and neuroprotection in daily practice. Although readymadesolutions are produced today, health care workers still prepare and use MgSO4 via traditional methods. We planned this studyto investigate the possible benefits of using ready-made solutions.Material and Methods: The solution prepared by traditional methods was compared to a ready-made solution in terms of Mg amount,preparation duration and cost over time.Results: Ready-made solutions resulted in a more homogeneous infusion (386.98±25.30 vs 402.65±21.68), lower cost (6.86 vs 5.56)and less labor loss (1258 (min: 900 – max: 1500) vs 0 sec).Conclusions: This study, it does show that the use of a ready-made solution allows the patient to receive a more homogenousinfusion of magnesium over time, and it is more financially profitable. The use of ready-made MgSO4 solution also prevents the lossof time in the labor force that would have been spent preparing the solution.
