Summary

This study tested whether giving magnesium sulphate to full-term or near-term newborns with moderate to severe birth asphyxia (oxygen deprivation during birth) could protect their brains and improve survival. It involved 178 babies in Pakistan and compared standard care to standard care plus magnesium sulphate. The main goal was to see if this safe, inexpensive, and widely available drug could reduce death and long-term brain damage in these infants.
