No fresh nationwide NEET-PG 2026 result/ counselling notice was available during this review. These five original questions revise obstetric emergencies and do not reproduce any examination paper.
WHO recommends magnesium sulfate for prevention and treatment of eclamptic seizures. Diazepam and phenytoin are inferior routine alternatives; levetiracetam is not the standard first-line regimen.
Loss of deep-tendon reflexes is an early clinical warning of hypermagnesemia. Adequate urine output and normal respiration are reassuring; brisk reflexes may reflect severe pre-eclampsia rather than toxicity.
IV calcium antagonizes magnesium’s neuromuscular and cardiac effects. Sodium bicarbonate, protamine and vitamin K treat different toxicities or coagulation problems.
Severe hypertension with neurological symptoms is an obstetric emergency. Proteinuria is not required before urgent evaluation when severe features or end-organ involvement are suspected.
Magnesium is renally cleared. Respiratory depression, loss of reflexes and oliguria increase toxicity risk; monitoring only one unrelated clinical parameter is unsafe.
