Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Pre-Eclamptic Parturient Receiving Magnesium Sulfate Combined With Dexmedetomidine

Summary

Dexmedetomidine was reported to effectively reduce cerebral metabolism and ICP by decreasing cerebrospinal fluid pressure in patients with cerebral tumors or head injuries that require craniotomy. However, it was also reported to exhibit no effect on ICP. the effect of MgSO4 associated with dexmedetomidine on ONSD in severely pre-eclamptic parturient has been understudied . Though this study aims to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine infusion on raised ICP in severely pre-eclamptic parturients using ocular ultrasonography to determine ONSD as a measure of ICP.
