Magnesium Sulfate for Fetal Neuroprotection

February 5, 2021 updated by: Ahmed M Maged, MD, Cairo University

Magnesium Sulphate for Fetal Neuroprotection in Full Term Deliveries

Pregnant women diagnosed to have intrapartum fetal distress (Non reassuring or pathological changes according to NICE guidelines 2017) in any of the groups will receive the allocated treatment at least 20 minute before the procedure (emergency CS).

measures to reduce the effect of hypoxia will be applied to all participate through:

  • The position of the mother will be changed to left lateral position (allow increased blood supply).
  • I.V. fluid bolus (to avoid maternal dehydration).
  • Oxytocin or cervical ripening agent will be discontinued.
  • Fetal heart rate monitoring with cardiotocography will be attempted.
  • If umbilical cord prolapse is noted, elevate the presenting fetal part until preparing for emergency operative delivery.
  • After birth, Apgar score will be used to identify distress newborns that need resuscitation.

The study comprised 200 pregnant women. They were divided into two groups each are 100:

  • Group A: pregnant women diagnosed to have intrapartum fetal distress who will receive MgSO4.
  • Group B: pregnant women diagnosed to have intrapartum fetal distress who will receive placebo

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
