Trial summary

Magnesium sulfate has many mechanisms of action for attenuating the stress response as inhibition of catecholamine releasing from the adrenal medulla, keeping the plasma concentration of epinephrine at a fixed level, decreasing the circulating norepinephrine level when compared to that of a control group[ and also has… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Magnesium Sulfate Nebulization on Postoperative Sore Throat and Stress Response Induced Tracheal Intubation

Magnesium sulfate has many mechanisms of action for attenuating the stress response as inhibition of catecholamine releasing from the adrenal medulla, keeping the plasma concentration of epinephrine at a fixed level, decreasing the circulating norepinephrine level when compared to that of a control group[ and also has a vasodilation effect on systemic and coronary blood vessels by blocking calcium ion in vascular smooth muscle.-Methyl- D-Aspartate (NMDA) antagonism is an amazing recent discovery for magnesium sulphate to play an important role in stress response.

In this study, we will study the effects of nebulized magnesium sulfate on hemodynamics during intubation.

Study tools:

Following institutional ethical committee approval and written informed consent,a prospective randomized double-blinded study. After written informed consent wil be given, 100 patients, ASA 1 or 2, aged between 20 - 50 years, scheduled for elective surgery with Orotracheal Intubation (OTI) will be assessed for eligibility. Patients will be recruited in the study divided into two equal groups; Patients in Group A: will receive nebulized magnesium sulfate in 3 ml (240 mg) over 15 min, While group B: will receive nebulized normal saline in 3 ml over 15 min, ending 5 min before the induction of anesthesia. SBP, DBP, HR, and blood glucose level will be measured at the following intervals; Baseline (before induction), after premedication (sedation), after induction, after ETT intubation, 3 min later, 6 min later.

Full monitoring data (Blood pressure every 3 minutes, ECG, Nanogram, and pulse oximeter) wil be collected till 6 minutes then every 5 minutes. Random blood sugar will be tested 5 minutes pre-intubation, 3minutes and 5 minutes after intubation.

After end of nebulization, sedation with 2 mg midazolam and IV fluids (10 ml/kg) will be infused to avoid tachycardia of dehydration and fear of surgery. Then, we proceed on general anesthesia through propool titration + fentanyl 100 mcg + Cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg. Endotracheal intubation with cuffed tube and mechanical ventilation with mild increase in respiratory rate 14-16/min to overcome CO2 peritoneal insufflation. All patients will receive intraoperatively, nalbuphine 0.1 mg/kg + ketorolac 60 mg + paracetamol IV 1 g. Dexamethasone 4mg + Ondansetron 4mg will be received to all patients for prophylaxis against postoperative nausea and vomiting. After end of surgery, cessation of inhalational anesthesia and reversal of muscle relaxation with neostigmine 2.5 mg+ Atropine 1mg will be done.

Consumption of isoflurane intraoperatively will be recorded. Post operative assessment for pain using VAS score will be assessed 2 hours after recovery.

Time for recovery after stop of isoflurane will be estimated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnesium sulfate vaporization in people with Anesthesia Complication and Anesthesia Intubation Complication, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of post-operative sore throat at 0 hours in both groups (time frame: at 0 hours in both groups). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Dec 2025.
