Magnesium may increase cerebral blood flow (CBF) and reduce the contraction of cerebral arteries caused by various stimuli. In this study the authors tested the hypothesis that a continuous intravenous infusion of Mg<jats:sup>++<\/jats:sup> reduces cerebral vasospasm after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic> A dose-finding study was conducted in five monkeys <jats:italic>(Macaca fascicularis)<\/jats:italic> to determine what doses of intravenous MgSO<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> elevate the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of Mg<jats:sup>++<\/jats:sup> to vasoactive levels and to determine what effects these doses have on the diameters of cerebral arteries, as shown angiographically. After a standard dose of MgSO<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> had been selected it was then administered in a randomized, controlled, blinded study to 10 monkeys (five animals\/group) with SAH, beginning on Day 0 and continuing for 7 days, at which time angiography was repeated. A 0.086-g\/kg bolus of MgSO<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> followed by an infusion of 0.028 g\/kg\/day MgSO<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> significantly elevated serum and CSF levels of Mg<jats:sup>++<\/jats:sup> (five monkeys). Magnesium sulfate significantly elevated the serum level of total Mg<jats:sup>++<\/jats:sup> from a control value of 0.83 \u00b1 0.04 mmol\/L to 2.42 \u00b1 1.01 mmol\/L on Day 7 and raised the CSF level from 1.3 \u00b1 0.04 mmol\/L to 1.76 \u00b1 0.14 mmol\/L. There was no angiographic evidence of any effect of MgSO<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> on normal cerebral arteries. After SAH, the vasospasm in the middle cerebral artery was not significantly reduced (46 \u00b1 8% in the MgSO<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>-treated group compared with 35 \u00b1 6% in the placebo [vehicle]-treated group, p &gt; 0.05, unpaired t-test).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Magnesium sulfate did not significantly reduce cerebral vasospasm after SAH in the doses tested. An investigation of SAH is warranted mainly to test whether a benefit can be achieved by neuroprotection or by augmentation of CBF by dilation of small vessels and\/or collateral pathways.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2004.100.1.0106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,13]],"date-time":"2009-05-13T18:00:25Z","timestamp":1242237625000},"page":"106-110","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Magnesium and experimental vasospasm"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"R.
