Effect of Antenatal Magnesium Sulfate Exposure on Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants
Conclusion Although antenatal MgSO4 exposure may increase the incidence of hsPDA, it may not affect the rates of PDA ligation or open PDA at discharge. Further studies are required to better evaluate the dose-dependent outcomes and identify the MgSO4 dose that not only provides neuroprotection but also has the lowest risk of adverse effects.
