This site is devoted to the management of patients suffering from tetanus. Conventional treatment of tetanus involved the use of very deep sedation and long periods of mechanical ventilation , which created huge problems of their own and stretched intensive care resources to the maximum.  In addition , it was often difficult to control  tetanus induced overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system.  The new revolutionary treatment modality of using magnesium sulphate infusions as the sole therapy has minimised all these problems and has greatly simplified intensive care management of the tetanus patient.

 

This site describes the use of magnesium sulphate in the treatment of tetanus. Other aspects concerning the management of the tetanus patient are also described. Most importantly , you are also  invited to join an e mail discussion group which focuses on all aspects related to care of the patient with this complex disease.
