Measure
MgSO4 4g Load, 1g/hr Infusion
Once their obstetrician prescribes magnesium sulfate, participant will be assigned by 50/50 chance to one of two treatment regimens. Participant will be assigned to either a dose of 4 g at the start, followed by 1g every hour; or a dose of 6 g at the start, followed by 2g every hour until treatment for preeclampsia is complete. Magnesium sulfate 4g loading dose, 1g/hr infusion
MgSO4 6g Load, 2g/hr Infusion
Once their obstetrician prescribes magnesium sulfate, participant will be assigned by 50/50 chance to one of two treatment regimens. Participant will be assigned to either a dose of 4 g at the start, followed by 1g every hour; or a dose of 6 g at the start, followed by 2g every hour until treatment for preeclampsia is complete.
