Magnesium replacement

This regimen is what we use at work. I don't take any responsibility if something went wrong. It is only clinical judgement and local protocol.

For rapid replacement (ICU setting) , 5g of Mg in 250 ml of 0.9% NaCl in 2 hours (Cardiac monitor/Telemetry required)

For slow infusion (ward), 3 gm in 0.9% NaCl 250 ml in 6 hours.
