Abstract
During phenylephrine-induced hypertension in 6 near-term pregnant ewes, nitroprusside rapidly lowered the blood pressure to control values with no accompanying change in uterine blood pressure to control values. This change was accompanied by a statistically significant (15%) increase in uterine blood flow. Hydralazine also had a more pronounced effect than nitroprusside on cardiac output (.uparw.), heart rate ((.uparw.) and total peripheral resistance (.dwnarw.). There were no significant acid-base changes in mother or fetus throughout the study.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
