Hyun-Jung Shin et al., « Incidence of ionized hypomagnesemia in adult patients undergoing noncardiac major surgery: a prospective observational trial », Magnesium Research, ID : 10670/1.3dyide
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the incidence of preoperative ionized hypomagnesemia and compare with that of total hypomagnesemia. Methods: This prospective observational study included 536 patients aged >20 years who were scheduled for elective surgery. Total and ionized magnesium levels were evaluated before and after the surgery. Based on these levels, patients were classified into the following groups: ionized hypo- (0.59 mmol/L), as well as total hypo- (2.7 mg/dL [1.11 mmol/L]). The primary objective was to establish the incidence of preoperative ionized hypomagnesemia. Results: There was a marked difference between the incidence of preoperative ionized and total hypomagnesemia (28% vs. 19%; p
