Summary
Premature infants are at risk for acute brain injuries and long-term developmental problems
such as cerebral palsy (CP). Research suggests that high levels of magnesium at and around
the time of birth may decrease the risk of brain injuries. This study will evaluate the
effects of giving magnesium to premature infants.
