I know this is old as hell but you had it correctly already. We do 4g of mag, drop it in a 100ml bag and run it over 10 or 15 mins. Basically just run it slow. It's not a big deal if it goes in a little faster. You just going to watch for hypotension.
Thanks for the vid. I'm a new Paramedic. I encountered a situation the other day where I had to push mag for a ped. Initially I elected to go with mag IVP mixed with 20mL NS per my protocol, but encountered an issue. I wasn't sure how to "mix" the small ped dose (375mg) with 20mL. Instead, I elected to go with mag IVPB, as all I needed to do was mix the mag into 50mL NS and run over 10min. If attempting to do mag SIVP, how exactly do you mix mag into 20mL NS when 20mL NS is only issued in a prefilled syringe? Is my protocols wrong or am I thinking incorrectly? Shouldn't it be push the mag then, follow with a 20cc flush? Or would this cause burns? Thanks for the response in advance...
