A follow up on the feasibility after national implementation of magnesium sulfate for neuroprotection prior to preterm birth
INTRODUCTION: The risk for brain injury manifested as cerebral palsy is higher in very preterm born children than in term. Prenatal administration of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ) has been shown to be neuroprotective and reduces the proportion of very preterm born children later diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
