Trial Outcomes & Findings for Magnesium Sulfate for Analgesia in Pediatric Transplant (NCT NCT04812028)

NCT ID: NCT04812028

Last Updated: 2024-10-28

Results Overview

Total opioid requirement during the entire operative and post-operative pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) period will be reported in units of morphine equivalent per body weight. OME/kg is often the recorded value in studies, however the patients had variable PICU courses (i.e. duration in days different between patients, as well as well as admission times altering POD#0 data, etc), so the opioid consumption was standardized to the duration of their course (i.e. OME/kg/d).
