Summary
A 27-year-old female, G1P0 at 39 weeks gestational age, is currently receiving a magnesium sulfate infusion for pre-eclampsia. You are consulted for a possible cesarean section. You begin to interview her and notice that she is lethargic and has a hard time staying awake. You promptly check her deep tendon reflexes and notice that they are hyporeflexic. You immediately notify the obstetrician of your findings. What are the next steps you should take? What are your concerns? How would this affect your anesthetic management of this patient?
