Summary
This study looked at whether giving magnesium sulfate for 12 hours instead of the usual 24 hours after delivery could safely prevent seizures in women with mild preeclampsia. 200 women at term were randomly assigned to either the shorter or longer treatment. The goal was to see if the shorter course worked just as well while reducing exposure to the medication.
