1. A STUDY ON SERUM MAGNESIUM
AND ITS EFFECT ON MORTALITY
AND MORBIDITY IN PATIENTS
ADMITTED IN INTENSIVE MEDICAL
CARE UNIT

2. OBJECTIVE
• To study serum magnesium levels in patients admitted in
intensive medical care unit within 24 hours of admission and
find out hypomagnesemia, to determine the associated
outcome in terms of
• 1. Length of stay in IMCU, need for ventilator support, duration
of ventilator support, mortality and APACHE II.
• 2. To assess the primary critical medical conditions associated
with hypomagnesemia
• 3. To detect other electrolyte abnormalities associated with
hypomagnesemia if any

3. METHODOLOGY
• The data of each patient were collected in the specific proforma
which included detailed history and thorough physical
examination.
• Serum Magnesium estimated within 24 hours of admission.
• CBC, RFT, LFT, Urine routine, ECG, ECHO.
• CXR PA view, CT BRAIN plain.ABG analysis were done for
patients appropriate to their clinical condition.

4. INCLUSION CRITERIA
• These includes patients admitted in ICU with
• Cardiac Failure
• Respiratory Failure
• Poisoning
• Snake bite
• Sepsis
• Cerebro vascular accident
• Status epilepticus
• Diabetic Keto Acidosis

5. EXCLUSION CRITERIA
• • Patients who had previously documented Hypomagnesemia.
• • Patients with Renal failure and those who have magnesium
more than 2.5mg/dl.
• • Patients who were on Magnesium supplementation and Blood
Transfusion.
