Personalized magnesium for safer pediatric heart surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium (MgSO4) in a personalized way can reduce complications for children having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. It may help make recovery smoother.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be having heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- Your child must not have kidney disease.
- Your child must not already have an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
- Your child must not be taking medicine to control heart rhythm.

This trial tests if giving magnesium through the mouth works as well as through the vein to prevent confusion or agitation right after surgery in children having their tonsils out. It aims to find a simpler way to help kids wake up calmly.
This trial tests if magnesium sulfate can help children recover better after laparoscopic appendix removal. It aims to see if it reduces pain or other problems during and after surgery.
This trial tests if giving magnesium sulfate through an IV helps children with moderate to severe asthma attacks in the emergency department. If your child is between 2 and 17 years old and still has trouble breathing after three puffs of standard asthma medicine, this study may be an option.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium as part of a standard hospital protocol can lower the risk of irregular heartbeat and improve survival in patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
