Abstract

Background: Recommendations for magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) dosage to prevent eclampsia and minimize side effects are still inconsistent because of the different physical conditions and weights of the population in each country. Objective: Determine the average concentration of Mg++ in the blood of pregnant women with severe preeclampsia at Hung Vuong Hospital 3 times: before taking MgSO4, 30 minutes after taking a loading dose of 4.5g, and after taking a loading dose of 4.5g 6 hours with a maintenance dose of 1g/hour. Method: Cross-sectional study, blood samples taken 3 times, the survey of Mg++ concentration in blood from 0 to 6 hours on 64 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia treated with MgSO4 at the emergency department of Hung Vuong Hospital from 11/2023 to 4/2024. Results: The concentration of Mg++ in the blood before MgSO4 treatment was 0.75 ± 0.13 mmol/l (95% CI: 0.71 - 0.78), after 30 minutes of taking a loading dose of 4.5g it was 1.65 ± 0.32 mmol/l (95% CI: 1.57 - 1.72) and after 6 hours loading dose with a maintenance dose of 1g/hour was 1.6 ± 0.34 mmol/l (95% CI: 1.52 - 1.69). After the loading dose, the rate of 17.2% had at least once achieved a blood Mg++ concentration of 2 mmol/l after 6 hours. Conclusion: No cases of eclampsia occurred during the study period in patients with severe preeclampsia with the MgSO4 regimen of induction 4.5g and maintenance 1g/hour. However, if the minimum eclampsia prevention threshold of 2 mmol/l is chosen, 17.2% will be achieved after the loading dose. Therefore, further research is needed to adjust the appropriate attack dose of MgSO4 for the treatment of pregnant women with severe preeclampsia.
