Abstrakt: In a previous study, we examined the effects of halothane on the normal foetal lamb in utero. The most significant finding was a 33 per cent fall infoeial mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). Cardiac output and placental blood flow were not affected. To determine if the asphyxiated foetus would respond similarly, the following study was performed. Seven pregnant ewes were surgically prepared two days prior to study with maternal and foetal indwelling arterial and venous cannulas. An inflatable occlusion loop was secured around the umbilical cord.
