5 Things You Need To Know About Magnesium Sulfate
Magnesium sulfate has been used
for many years to prevent seizures in preeclampsia and as a
tocolytic to treat preterm labor contractions. There is now a
growing body of research that nurses and other clinicians should be aware
of about the neuroprotective effects of this medication. Current evidence
suggests that magnesium sulfate administered before birth can preserve the brain function and
reduce the risks of cerebral palsy in preterm newborns.
It is also important that clinicians understand the current safety considerations and precautions needed to safely administer magnesium sulfate and to protect maternal and fetal well-being.
This webinar is essential for nurses and other
clinicians to maintain competent, safe practice and to educate parents about the
benefits and risks of magnesium sulfate therapy.
