Fetal and neonatal pulmonary circulation.
During fetal life, gas exchange is carried out in the placenta. The lung does not have a physiological role, apart from possible metabolic functions which include secretion of hormones, enzymatic conversion of inactive substances to functional hormones, and degradation of active materials to inactive metabolites. Blood flow through the lungs is quite low during fetal life; most of the systemic ...
متن کاملEffects of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) on Fetal Pulmonary Circulation: An Experimental Study in Fetal Lambs
Background: Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) causes significant morbidity and mortality in neonates. n-3 Poly-unsaturated fatty acids have vasodilatory properties in the perinatal lung. We studied the circulatory effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in fetal sheep and in fetal pulmonary arterial rings. Methods: At 128 days of gestation, ca...
متن کاملEffects of hyperbaric oxygen on uteroplacental and fetal circulation.
The effects of hyperbaric oxygen (at 3 atmospheres absolute) on uteroplacental and fetal circulations were studied in pregnant ewes near term. The ewe was given spinal anesthesia, the fetus was marsupialized to the abdominal walls to protect the umbilical circulation, and the fetal head was covered with a saline-filled glove to prevent breathing. During hyperbaric oxygenation, maternal arterial...
متن کاملOcclusion of peripheral pulmonary vascular bed in a baby with idiopathic persistent fetal circulation.
Babies with a normal heart and persistence of the fetal circulation are frequently referred to the cardiologist because they present with severe cyanosis in the absence of parenchymal lung disease. Persistence of the fetal circulation may be associated with birth asphyxia, polycythaemia, hypoglycaemia,l and premature closure of the ductus arteriosus.2 Occasionally, however, no "trigger" factor ...
متن کاملThe effects of angiotensin on pulmonary circulation and ventricular function.
A LTHOUGH the discovery of angiotensin (angiotonin or hypertensin) was reported independently in 1939 by Page and Helmer1 in this country and by Braun-Menendez and co-workers2 in Argentina, its structure was not described until 1956 and its active principle not synthesized until 1957. Angiotensin is known to exist in at least two forms, angiotensin I and angiotensin II. While the decapeptide an...
