Managing Postoperative Arrhythmia and Sepsis with iMg
An essential yet underutilized electrolyte in critical care

Hypomagnesemia is common in critical care and associated with cardiac arrhythmia, increased need for ventilator support, and increased length of stay and mortality.1

Real-time serial measurement of ionized magnesium (iMg) to guide Mg therapy has been demonstrated to improve outcomes and reduce length of stay for critically ill patients.2

This brief seminar will examine the essential role of iMg monitoring in cardiothoracic surgery and in critical illness such as sepsis, as well as why iMg is a better clinical and diagnostic marker than total Mg.

A new critical care analyzer that provides real-time, bedside iMg results—along with gases, electrolytes, and metabolites including optional creatinine and BUN for acute kidney injury—will be presented.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain the role of iMg monitoring in the critical care pathway
  • Demonstrate the clinical consequences of hypo- and hypermagnesemia
  • Examine the differences between total and ionized Mg
