Antenatal magnesium sulphate and delayed passage of meconium: A multicentre study.

Introduction: The published evidence on the association between magnesium sulphate (MgSO) and delayed passage of meconium (DPM) is contradictory.

Objectives: To determine whether there is an association between the administration of MgSO to the mother and DPM in the neonate, and to analyse serum magnesium levels in neonates in relation to the cumulative dose of MgSO administered to the mother.

Population And Methods: Retrospective and prospective descriptive and analytical study conducted in patients delivered at or before 32 weeks of gestation in 2 tertiary care hospitals.

Prenatal therapy with magnesium sulphate and intestinal obstruction due to meconium in preterm newborns.

Introduction: Magnesium sulphate (MgSO) therapy has shown to be useful as a neurological protector in the preterm newborn below 32 weeks of gestation. The most documented adverse effect is cardiorespiratory failure, whereas its relationship with meconium obstruction is controversial. The main objective of this study was to analyse the possible association between prenatal MgSO therapy and meconium obstruction.
