Clinical Trial Summary
The purpose of this study is to more rigorously evaluate the response to a single bolus of
magnesium sulfate in a population of patients with moderate to severe bronchiolitis. The
primary outcome will be to evaluate the effect of this therapy on clinical respiratory
status. Secondary outcomes of interest will include the incidence of adverse effects and
safety profile of magnesium bolus use in this population.
Description:
This randomized placebo-controlled pilot study is designed to evaluate the above referenced
outcomes. Study drug initiation will occur in the local pediatric intensive care unit in
patients with a clinical diagnosis of bronchiolitis and whose parent/LAR consents for their
participation. Our goal is to enroll and evaluate a total of 40 patients.
Upon obtaining informed consent, the participant will receive an enrollment history and
physical to include: baseline Modified Pulmonary Index Score (MPIS), blood pressure, vital
signs, and epidemiologic data. The participant will then receive either a bolus of 50mg/kg
Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) or normal saline as placebo medication over twenty minutes. Vital
signs and MPIS will be monitored according to the study schedule, for a total of six hours.
During the period of monitoring subjects will not receive additional bronchodilators unless
otherwise deemed clinically necessary by the subject's attending physician. If administered,
these will be recorded by investigative team.
