The Treatment of Magnesium Sulfate and Nifedipine in Preterm Labor Threat (MgSO4)

September 14, 2022 updated by: Hasan Ali Inal, MD, Konya Meram State Hospital

Comparison of the Effects of Nifedipine and Magnesium Sulfate on Maternal and Fetal Doppler Blood Flow Patterns in Women With Preterm Labor

Comparison of the effects of Nifedipine and MgSO4 therapies on maternal and fetal blood flow.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In this study, the investigators aim to compare the effect of Nifedipine and MgSO4 therapies on Doppler parameters of the uterine, umbilical, middle cerebral arteries, and ductus venous in the first 48 hours of therapy in pregnancies with preterm labor threat and also compare perinatal outcomes after delivery between the groups.
