Summary

Children's Hospital Multan is a tertiary care teaching hospital in South Punjab, the poorest and most backward area of Punjab, Pakistan, where a significant number of newborns suffer from birth asphyxia. Therefore, this study was planned with the objective of investigating the effectiveness of magnesium sulphate in severe birth asphyxia, hypothesizing that in cases of birth asphyxia, neonates who are treated with magnesium sulphate have a higher sucking reflex than those who are not treated with magnesium sulphate.

Conditions

  • Birth Asphyxia
