INTRODUCTION Magnesium sulfate has been administered to patients to treat acute severe asthma when conventional therapy with oxygen, corticosteroids and continuous aerosol beta agonists fail to provide adequate relief. Reported benefits have been limited to 11 case reports involving 199 patients. in these reports doses varied from 17 -95 mg/kg and serum levels varied from 2. 5 -5. 1 mg/dl. Clinical results were inconsistant but tended to show a 9 -25 % improvement in airway resistance or clinical asthma scores. We studied the pharmacokinetic and clinical effects of intravenous magnesium sulfate in children with acute severe asthma.

METHODS - I 1. Children who met the following inclusion criteria were studied: a) Absence of chronic cardiac or pulmonary disease b) Within 2 standard deviations of normal height and weight c) Acute asthma with clinical asthma score > 4 d) Failure to demonstrate a 40% improvement in CAS after 40 minutes of oxygen, steroids and continuous albuterol aerosol (0. 3 -0. 5 mg/kg/hr) 2. Administer 26 -73. 5 mg/kg intravenuous magnesium sulfate (10%) over 20 minutes while continuing continuous albuterol aerosol. 3. file: mgmethd 1 Monitoring: Continuous: HR, RR, O 2 Sat At 0 time, 20 and 60 min: BP, CAS, SAT/FIO 2, serum Mg levels When possible: Pa.

METHODS - II 4. Serum magnesium levels were determined colorimetrically using the Formazan Dye reaction and reported in mg/dl 5. Volume of Distribution (Vd) = Administered Dose / Concentration 6. Elimination Rate Ke = (logn Concentration 1 - logn Concentration 2)/ change time 7. Half-life = 0. 693/Ke 8. Adverse reactions were determined to be: a) Decreased deep tendon reflexes b) Hypotension c) Arrythmias file: mgmthds 2

LEGEND Results of 14 administrations of intravenous magnesium sulfate to determine baseline, 20 minute and 60 minute serum magnesium levels, volumes of distribution and serum half lives. Serum magnesium levels reported in mg/dl. Vd reported as ml/kg. Half life reported in hours. Compilations reported as mean +/- standard deviation.

CONCLUSIONS 1. FOR CHILDREN 4 -180 MONTHS OF AGE THE VOLUME OF DISTRIBUTION FOR Mg. SO 4 IS 313. 2 +/- 74. 2 ml/kg. 2. HALF-LIFE OF A SINGLE DOSE OF Mg. SO 4 IN THESE CHILDREN IS 1. 95 +/-. 93 HOURS. 3. THE CLINICAL PARAMETERS MEASURED DID NOT CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY WITH A MEAN DOSE OF 52. 6 MG/KG, ACHIEVING A PEAK SERUM MG LEVEL OF 3. 73 MG/DL 4. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A DISTINCT TENDENCY FOR CLINICAL PARAMETERS TO IMPROVE SUGGESTING THAT OPTIMIZING THE DOSE AND SERUM LEVELS MAY PRODUCE MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENT 5. INTRAVENOUS Mg. SO 4 ADMINISTRATION APPEARS TO BE SAFE IN DOSES UP TO 70 MG/KG FILE: MGCONCLU

IMPLICATIONS 1. FUTURE STUDIES SHOULD OPTIMIZE THE DOSE OF Mg. SO 4 TO ATTEMPT

IMPLICATIONS 1. FUTURE STUDIES SHOULD OPTIMIZE THE DOSE OF Mg. SO 4 TO ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE SERUM LEVELS OF 4. 2 MG/DL 2. SINCE INTRAVENOUS Mg. SO 4 IN DOSES UP TO 70 MG/KG SEEMS TO BE SAFE, MORE LIBERAL INCLUSION CRITERIA MAY BE USED IN FUTURE STUDIES 3. SINCE IT IS DIFFICULT TO ADMINISTER EFFORT DEPENDANT TESTS, IE, PEFR TO YOUNG CHILDREN FUTURE STUDIES MIGHT BEST BE PERFORMED ON OLDER, MORE COOPERATIVE CHILDREN IN OUTPATIENT SETTINGS. 4. DEFINITIVE RESULTS REQUIRE RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE BLIND, PLACEBO CONTROLLED STUDIES 5. THIS STUDY NEITHER ENCOURAGES NOR DISCOURAGES THE USE OF CONTINUOUS Mg. SO 4 INFUSIONS IN FUTURE STUDIES. file: mg-impl
