Abstract: Due to the advances in perinatal care, the survival rate of premature babies is also increasing. This lead to the increase in the learning disabilities, medical disabilities, behavioral and psychological problems among these surviving premature babies. The risk of neurological impairments such as cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, and cognitive dysfunction are high in preterm babies. Magnesium sulphate used as the seizure prophylaxis in severe pre-eclamptic women and as a tocolytic found to have neuroprotective action in the preterm babies. Several studies concluded that exposure to both antenatal corticosteroids and magnesium sulphate was associated with lower rates of severe neurodevelopmental impairment or mortality.To determine the role of magnesium sulphate given for fetal neuro protection to women at risk of preterm birth in preventing neonatal mortality and neuro developmental morbidity.
