MgSO4 data

There is a national initiative to increase the use of Magnesium Sulphate for women at risk of or in premature labour to provide neuroprotection for the baby.

It would be helpful if a specific question could be added to the Pre Delivery & Labour and Delivery Workflows (which could also interface with Badgernet for Trusts with the facility) to ask whether mother has had MgSO4, with a date & time if so. (Similar to the Steroids questions)

A prompt to ask whether steroids or MgSO4 has been given would be useful for any baby born prematurely (specific gestation TBC)

    The Mag sulph is now in the labour - drugs & Third stage for PN, however we are missing the CS no labour mothers. Can we please have a question added for Mag sulph prior to delivery - possible with Pre delivery AN medication - Answer magnesium sulphate prior to delivery. Additionally while we capture mag sulph, we also need to determine if it was given within 24hrs of delivery - does there need to be something within the baby record? Mag sulph given within 24hrs of birth and more than 24hsr is the data capture required - which needs to interface to Badgernet

    Hi

    This question didn't appear to be in the release for MSDS v2, just wondering if we have an update as I'm getting requests monthly for updates on when they'll be a question regarding neuroprotection.

     

    Thanks

    Hi can we have an update on this please

    Susan raised this in November but we still have no progress. I am being chased by our Risk team to ensure that we have something in place can you please update the group as priority.

    An update on this would be really helpful. I am also being chased on progress updates on this with view to an early implementation

    Can you give us an estimated date that questions/answers to record this may be available? I’m sure I’m not the only one to have regular request for updates on progress.
    Submission of the data is already required and it’s a shame that E3 isn’t currently supporting simple collection of the information.

    Hi, if we could get an extra question that would be wonderful or even just adding an answer for mgso4 neuroprotection to the antenatal medications workflow or drugs in labour workflow.  I must admit I haven't been asked for dates yet, just for women who birthed that received it, so we're using the month as the birth month.

    We are  also being pressed for this as well as including in the Badgernet interface

    Thanks Susan - this is already on my radar as a dataset update. I will publish a new idea for Data set updates to reflect National Directives/guidance etc.
