Hi, can anyone help me with a topic that I can't found and it's about " Neonatal Cerebral Depression". Already all I know about the theme is when the neonatal asphyxia criteria are not well established, in a patient with low apgar and border gasometric criteria. Regards.

Magnesium sulfate to women in preterm labor (or with a medically indicated elective preterm birth) has been shown to reduce the risk of cerebral paresis, as I understand, at least in surviving infants. NICE in the UK writes extensively about the research and their conclusions in this guideline from 2015 (on page 276-289). Here is the summary of recommendations . It would be interesting to hear whether this is an established practise in your settings. To my knowledge, Mg sulfate is not yet implemented in Swedish guidelines (but as I have heard - a national guidelines should be a work-in-progress)

We would like to promote one of our latest reviews, on antenatal magnesium for preterm delivery and risk of cerebral palsy. You find the full review on our web site, ebneo.org

However, I know it is widely used in Canada and is stated in the CPS guideline posted in 2012 and reaffirmed in 2017.

This paper was recently published in J of Pediatr, read it Thanks to @EBNEO that promoted it in this tweet. The headline and study question are both great, but I am sceptical to the design: SGA infant with brain sparing was (as I See it from my vacation balcony in Greece ) compared with a small group of term AGA infants. (96 + 32 infants) Not surprisingly, this small study found mostly no differences. but as you know - abscense of evidence is not evidence of abscense. would have been better if SGA infants with brain sparing had been compared with SGA infants without it (or study whether degree of SGA would be associated with outcomes). No…
