Multicenter Study[Magnesium sulfate in the prophylaxis of eclampsia: a retrospective study].
The use of magnesium sulfate (MgSO(4)) has been advocated since 2000 in France in the management of eclampsia. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of use of this treatment for eclampsia in a French department. ⋯ In this study, the use of MgSO(4) in the secondary prevention is frequent. This result emphasizes the importance of the recommendations of learned societies in the homogenization of the management of rare but serious conditions such as eclampsia.
