Magnesium replacement in ICU patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether giving magnesium can lower the chance of developing new irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you are at risk but do not already have this rhythm issue, magnesium may help prevent it.
This trial studies whether giving magnesium helps people who are hospitalized with low magnesium levels. It may help correct low magnesium and improve how patients feel and recover.
This trial tests whether a magnesium infusion can better control pain in adults who have serious injuries and need intensive care. It compares magnesium as part of pain treatment to standard pain care to see if pain improves and stays controlled.
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 a higher dose of magnesium (given as an IV drip) works better than the standard dose for treating a severe asthma attack in the emergency room. It aims to see if the higher dose helps you breathe easier sooner.
This trial tests whether raising magnesium levels in the blood to a normal upper range can help reduce the need for strong blood pressure medications in people with severe septic shock. It might help stabilize blood pressure and improve recovery.
