Abstract
Strong evidence supports the use of antenatal magnesium sulphate before birth at less than 30 weeks’ gestation to reduce the risk of death and cerebral palsy for very preterm babies. This study was undertaken to assess health professionals’ self reported use of this neuroprotective therapy, and barriers and enablers to implementation of Australian and New Zealand clinical practice guidelines.
