Randomized, Double Blind Trial of Magnesium Sulfate Tocolysis Versus Intravenous Saline for Suspected Placental Abruption
Randomized, Double Blind Trial of Magnesium Sulfate Tocolysis Versus Intravenous Saline for Suspected Placental Abruption
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of magnesium sulfate for preterm suspected abruption.
We hope to learn if there is a difference in the efficacy of intravenous magnesium sulfate versus intravenous saline infusion in the resolution of vaginal bleeding and contractions in patients with a suspected placental abruption.
Inclusion Criteria:
- vaginal bleeding and contractions consistent with suspected placental abruption between 24 and 34 weeks gestation.
Exclusion Criteria:
- preterm labor, severe bleeding necessitating immediate delivery, maternal coagulopathy, fetal distress
