Abstract
SummaryWe present two reports of pregnant women in labor who inadvertently received a magnesium sulfate solution in their epidural space. Both women received approximately 9 mg of magnesium sulfate, and neither of them demonstrated any signs or symptoms of focal neurological toxicity. Once the mistakes were discovered and appropriate medication was delivered, the patients attained an acceptable level of analgesia.
