IV magnesium rate of infusion

Hello,

How fast do you allow magnesium to run in your facility? We have some providers (e.g., emergency) who want to give 2-4 grams over 20 minutes specifically for a fib, but nursing is concerned and at times has refused to give. Obviously we give higher doses for preeclampsia. I have found a couple of references that show safety when exceeding the 150 mg/minute recommended max rate, but I am curious what other facilities allow.

Thank you!
