Inclusion criteria

- Be undergoing a bladder invasive procedure with or without planned urinary catheter on Mayo Clinic Gonda 7 Outpatient Procedure Center.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Are unable to grant informed consent or comply with study procedure.
  • Allergy or known sensitivity to magnesium or Renacidin.
  • Expected or high risk of bladder extravasation.
  • Ongoing atrial fibrillation prior to surgery.
  • Are undergoing emergency surgery.
  • Are pregnant.
  • Known hypermagnesemia.
  • Patients with neuromuscular weakness (e.g., Myasthenia gravis) due to magnesium's muscle weakening effect.
  • Patients with myocardial compromise or cardiac conduction defects because of magnesium's anti-inotropic effects.
  • Patients with renal insufficiency, glomerular filtration rate less than 30, since Magnesium is eliminated by the kidneys resulting in exaggerated rise in serum magnesium.
  • Patients with concomitant use of a calcium channel blocker since magnesium sulfate could act synergistically to suppress muscular contractility.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of bladder spasm

    Number of subjects to experience bladder spasms

    Time frame: Post-operative, approximately 1 hour

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of bladder spasm above moderate grade

    Number of subjects to experience bladder spasms above moderate grade

    Time frame: Post-operative, approximately 4 hours

  2. Treatment for bladder spasms

    Number of subjects requiring treatment for bladder spasms

    Time frame: Post-operative, approximately 4 hours

  3. Patient satisfaction

    Assessed using a seven-point Likert scale where 1=strongly dissatisfied, 2=moderately dissatisfied, 3=slightly dissatisfied, 4=neutral, 5=slightly satisfied, 6=moderately satisfied, 7=extremely satisfied

    Time frame: Post-operative, approximately 4 hours
