Abstract
Magnesium plays a key role in many cellular functions and there is growing interest in its role in perioperative medicine. While experimental studies provided promising results for several disease states, clinical trials mainly gave conflicting results. This review article summarizes current knowledge on the homeostasis of magnesium as well as on its proposed indications and recommendations in the clinical setting.
