The Effect of Body Mass Index on Post-Bolus Magnesium Levels in the Obstetric Patient
Conclusion Increasing BMI has a significant effect on post-bolus serum magnesium levels regardless of standard loading dose used. Immediately after bolus administration, obese gravidas are significantly less likely to reach levels effective for eclamptic seizure prophylaxis. When considering which bolus to administer in an obese gravida, it may be more beneficial to choose a 6 g load.
