Objective: To observe the effect on newborn blood serum magnesium levels by using magnesium sulfate in pregnant women before delivery.

Methods: Fifty-four newborn blood serum magnesium levels were detected by Beckman Automatic Biochemistry Analysis Instrument. Twenty neonates' mothers with severe edema proteinemia hypertension syndrome (EPH) were dripped intravenously magnesium sulfate before delivery. The concentration of magnesium sulfate is 2.5 percent. The total dosage of magnesium sulfate is nineteen gram. Four of them were dripped intravenously in forty minutes and the others were used in eight hours. Thirty-four neonates whose mothers weren't administrated magnesium sulfate during pregnancy.  ifty-four neonates' venous blood was taken in the first three days.

Results: The average blood serum magnesium levels of twenty neonates were 1.13±0.28mmol/l. Those of thirty-four neonates were 0.89± 0.18mmol/l. The differences were all significant (p<0.001).

Conclusion: The blood serum magnesium levels of newborn infants would be increased significantly if mothers were administrated magnesium sulfate before delivery. Therefore, the dosage, concentration and speed of using of magnesium sulfate in pregnancies should be used carefully.
