imbalances are the mainstays of treatment to improve
maternal and fetal outcomes, providers must remain vigilant for potentially more complicated obstetric management. Fetal considerations in the case of delivery include
preterm birth, fetal hypoxia, fetal acidosis, fetal birth
injury, and fetal loss; maternal considerations include
concomitant preeclampsia, sepsis more likely to progress
to septic shock, and peripartum hemorrhage from a variety of causes.
CASE- BASED LEARNING DISCUSSION
1. Describe the pathophysiology and management goals
intraoperatively for this diseasestate.
2. In the case described above, what tests should be done
to evaluate the patient’s glucose tolerance?
3. How is the diagnosis of GDM established?
4. What would be the best treatment and follow- up
strategy for this patient?
5. What are potential complications to the patient and her
fetus if le untreated?
6. If the patient presented with ketones present in her
urine, what additional testing should be performed to
conrm a diagnosis ofDKA?
7. If DKA is conrmed, what are the primary goals of
treatment?

was controlled aer two doses of IV labetalol 20 mg. An
intravenous magnesium infusion was started with a 4 gram
loading dose over 20 minutes followed by 1 g/ hr. During
this same time, the obstetrician ordered the oxytocin infusion to be doubled. Several hours later, the patient reported
feeling ushed, blurry vision, and nauseated with shallow
respirations and weakness in her extremities. Upon reentering the room, the nurse quickly discovered the magnesium
infusion was mistaken for the oxytocin and the patient had
received a total of 10 g of magnesium in the last 3hours.

Compared with those without pretreatment, patients who
had pretreatment with magnesium sulfate 60 mg/ kg prior
to tracheal intubation experienced a lower increase of heart

norepinephrine.14 Although there is a theoretical risk of
exaggerated hypotension when magnesium is combined

well tolerated in practice.

At the neuromuscular junction, magnesium competes with calcium for

Magnesium sulfate is also used for fetal
neuroprotection when imminent birth is anticipated at
<32 weeks gestation.25 Other common clinical uses of magnesium that perioperative crisis management providers may
encounter include treatment of torsades de pointes, status
asthmaticus,26 and postoperative pain control.
e most commonly used magnesium sulfate dose
for seizure prophylaxis in a preeclamptic parturient is an
intravenous loading dose of 4– 6 g over 15 to 20 minutes,
followed by a maintenance infusion of 1 to 2 g/ hr.
Based on retrospective data, a therapeutic range of 4.8 to
8.4 mg/ dL has been suggested.29 Following the intravenous
loading dose of 4 to 6 g, there is an immediate but transient increase in serum concentrations to 5.1 to 9.2 mg/
dL, which typically declines to 3.2 to 4.1 mg/ dL within 60
minutes.11 With simply starting an infusion of 1 g/ h, serum
magnesium concentrations reach a plateau aer 24 hours at
approximately 4.1 mg/ dL.

CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS OFMAGNESIUM
TOXICITY
Similar to local anesthetics, the clinical eect and toxicity of magnesium are directly related to its concentration in serum. However, the initial signs and symptoms
experienced by each patient may vary, so a low threshold for suspecting toxicity should be maintained.31 e
interpretation of serum magnesium concentration can be
confusing because it may be reported in milligrams per
deciliter (mg/ dL), milliequivalents per liter (mEq/ L) or
millimoles per liter (mmol/ L)30 (see Box 59.1). e normal serum concentration of magnesium ranges from 1.6
to 2.7 mg/ dL.1 Hypermagnesemia is dened as a serum
magnesium concentration greater 2.7 mg/ dL.1 Signs and
symptoms of hypermagnesemia are not usually apparent
until the serum magnesium is >4.8 mg/ dL.33 In general,
symptoms of toxicity can be grouped into four major
categories:early nonspecic, neurologic, neuromuscular,
and cardiovascular.
Rapid infusion of magnesium can lead to a transient

spike in serum level, precipitating diaphoresis, ushing,
and warmth, likely related to peripheral vasodilation.
Deep tendon reexes are diminished when serum conA common cause of hypermagnesemia is renal insuciency.1 As such, in patients with normal renal function
magnesium toxicity is rarely seen. Unfortunately, in the
population most likely to receive magnesium on labor and
delivery, patients with preeclampsia, renal dysfunction is
not uncommon.30 Because most women do not have severe
enough renal failure to cause signicant toxicity, medication administration error is more frequently the cause of
magnesium toxicity, again particularly in parturients who
receive magnesium sulfate for preeclampsia. Simpson and
Knox31 reported seven lethal cases of accidental magnesium
overdose in obstetrics related to the use of 1- L intravenous
bags containing 40 g of magnesium sulfate following temporary removal of intravenous line from the infusion pump.
McDonnell et al.30 described an intraoperative program-
centration is greater than 6.1 mg/ dL17 and become absent
as concentration reaches beyond 8.5 mg/ dL.11 Between
9 and 12 mg/ dL, nonspecic symptoms including nau-
sea, vomiting, and headache may be seen, although these
symptoms are not diagnostically helpful, as they may
present at much lower concentrations and in many cases
exist in healthy parturients in labor who are not receiving
magnesium. e category of early nonspecic symptoms
also includes nervous system eects such as somnolence,
ataxia, confusion, lethargy, and visual disturbances,
reecting magnesium’s ability to readily cross the blood-
brain barrier.
1,11
As the serum concentration of magnesium escalates further to 12– 15 mg/ dL, severe muscle
weakness including uterine atony and respiratory paralysis
can occur. Levels exceeding 18 mg/ dL may produce loss
ming error, where magnesium was mistakenly administered
through an electronic infusion device in place of oxytocin. Feng etal.32 reported a case where a patient developed
magnesium toxicity following an inadvertent free- owing

toms including bradycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, and
cardiorespiratory arrest (Table 59.1). Finally, acute hyperkalemia has also been reported during the management
of magnesium therapy in an obstetric patient.30 At high
concentrations, magnesium can inhibit sodium potassium
ATPase, resulting in buildup of potassium in the extracellular space, leading to development of hyperkalemia, with
peaked T- waves becoming evident on ECG at a serum
magnesium of 2.5– 5mmol/ L.
30
Deep tendon reexes, respiratory rate, and at times,
serum concentrations, are the most commonly monitored parameters in patients receiving magnesium infusions on labor and delivery. Electrocardiography (ECG)
may also help reveal some evidence of hypermagnesemia
(Box 59.2), however continuous telemetry is rarely used
in laboring patients. If deep tendon reexes are intact,
providers can take comfort that magnesium concentrations will rarely be in the toxic range. In otherwise healthy
parturients on magnesium for prevention or treatment of
eclampsia, routine monitoring of serum magnesium levels is not recommended.34 Monitoring of serum concentration should be considered when magnesium toxicity is
suspected (e.g., absent deep tendon reexes, respiratory
rate less than 12)or in the presence of renal insuciency
(i.e., serum creatinine > 1.0 mg/ dL or urine output < 100
cc for 4 hours).
7
e rst step in the management of a patient with magnesium toxicity is to discontinue further administration of
exogenous magnesium. Help should be summoned immediately, with mobilization of resuscitation teams and equipment depending on the patient status. Airway should be
quickly assessed and managed if necessary and 100% oxygen delivered, and the patient should be placed in lateral
uterine displacement position. Cardiorespiratory support
may be required until magnesium levels are reduced.
Calcium is the mainstay of treatment and should be
administered as soon as magnesium toxicity is diagnosed.
Calcium can directly reverse the signs and symptoms of magnesium toxicity and increase magnesium excretion by disrupting the electrochemical gradient at the thick ascending
limb (TAL) of the loop of Henle that regulates magnesium
reabsorption.35 Calcium is available as calcium gluconate
or calcium chloride salt solutions.36 Calcium chloride contains threefold greater elemental calcium per gram but has
a greater potential for infusion site reactions (e.g., necrosis from extravasation) compared to calcium gluconate,
so administration via central venous access or a large bore
peripheral venous catheter is usually recommended.
37,38
e
most appropriate dose and formulation of calcium in cases
of magnesium toxicity remain elusive. However, the usual
recommended initial dose for calcium gluconate is 1,000 to
2,000 mg (10 to 20 mL of 10% solution) intravenously at a

2. What are your initial steps in managing this patient?
Would you consider transferring this patient to

be used if this formulation is more readily available.
In severe hypermagnesemia or in patients with compromised renal function, dialysis may be required, because
elimination of magnesium ultimately requires renal excre-
1,39
tion.
However, preparation for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis oen takes an hour or longer, so other
supportive measures including advanced cardiac life support and calcium should be repeated until the patient is
acutely stabilized and/ or those therapies are available.
In patients with normal renal function, further options
may be considered to hasten renal excretion of magnesium.
In contrasts with other cations that are reabsorbed in the
proximal tubules, 60%– 70% of ltered magnesium is reabsorbed in the TAL due to relative the impermeability of the
proximal tubular epithelium to magnesium.39 e reabsorption of magnesium in the TAL is passive and inversely related
to ow. erefore, an increase in tubular ow (e.g., crystalloid infusion for volume expansion, diuretics) would help
reduce magnesium reabsorption. For this reason, intravenous normal saline bolus and furosemide 1 mg/ kg have been
recommended to enhance renal excretion by promoting
diuresis.
