Giving women at risk of premature birth a simple magnesium sulphate infusion (or ‘drip’) can prevent their babies from developing cerebral palsy, a recent Cochrane review has confirmed. A new editorial by Bristol's Professor Karen Luyt calls for this intervention to be implemented more widely and equitably, as it is still not consistently available worldwide.
