Calcium Gluconate is removed from our protocal, the only drugs we have for eclampsia is magnesium and the benzo's

Very valid point thank you Sir

Hi; I'm looking for other opinions concerning Magnesium vs Diapepam for a patient that has seizures due to eclampsia; I know there is alot of articles that support magnesium first; I there anyone that had first hand experience with this please let me know ; my concern is how long will it take for magnesium to stop the seizures - Maybe i'm still old school but i still think that the primary goal is to terminate the seizure with diazepam and then to give the loading dose of magnesium. :?:
