Group I received nebulization with 3 mL of 3.2% magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) every 4 hourly for 24 hours and group I received standard care alone. Parameters such as BSS, respiratory rate (RR), peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR) were recorded before treatment and at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post- operatively.
