NCT02307201

Brief Summary

There is no evidence that patients receiving magnesium sulfate before birth are required to maintain the drug for 24 hours. Therefore the investigators will have a randomized clinical study in patients with severe preeclampsia who have been treated with impregnation of magnesium sulphate and at least eight hours have received the drug before birth. If the patient agrees and signs the consent is randomized to: 1-receive sulfate for 24 hours postpartum as usual or, 2- not receiving the postpartum magnesium sulfate or other anticonvulsant drugs. This study can be conducted in 12 maternity latin america.
