Brief Summary   Magnesium sulphate is the drug of choice for prevention and treating convulsions in severe pre eclampsia and eclampsia1, 2 and though it has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective drug, concerns about the safety of the drug remain. Magnesium sulfate is administered parenterally by IM or IV routes. The IV regimen achieves more stable serum levels of magnesium but requires the use of an infusion pump for safe delivery and has a greater potential for inadvertent overdose. The IM regimen, the standard of care in most hospitals in India, while being potentially more safe, requires repeated painful IM injections. These limitations in administration hinder the widespread use of magnesium sulfate despite its demonstrated benefits. Thus there is urgent need to develop a system of care that avoids overdose and is acceptable to both patients and providers. A safe and simple system for IV administration3 of magnesium sulfate will facilitate the expansion of use into clinical environments where resources do not currently exist to treat with magnesium sulfate prior to delivery or transfer of care. This new technology may also facilitate the broader use magnesium sulfate particularly for women with less severe pre eclampsia who may benefit from prophylactic treatment
