Summary
Use of Mayfield skull clamp during craniotomies; results in a sharp and intense noxious
stimulus which results in a severe hemodynamic pressor response. Many strategies have been
reported to blunt this undesirable pressor effect. This prospective, double blind, and
randomized study is the first to evaluate the effect of MgSo4 on attenuation of hemodynamic
pressor activity after head clamp application during craniotomies.
