Measurements have been made of the peripheral vascular factors influencing venous return, and hence cardiac output, in the fetus. These measurements show the fetus maintains a high venous return by means of a high mean systemic pressure, or driving pressure for venous return, and a low resistance to venous return. Increases in fetal blood volume cause increases in mean systemic pressure with no change in resistance to venous return and, as a result, venous return is increased. These studies show the possible importance of peripheral vascular factors in the control of cardiac output.

10 fetal lambs prepared with sampling catheters in the common umbilical vein and distal aorta were studied at 2 h, 2 and 4 days postoperatively. Umbilical blood flow was measured by a diffusion equilibrium method. Oxygen, lactate, pyruvate, glucose and alpha-amino nitrogen concentrations were determined on umbilical arterial (UA) and umbilical vein (UV) blood. Fetal oxygen consumption averaged 10.4, 10.6 and 1.0 ml.kg-1.min-1 for the three study periods. Lactate/pyruvate ratios were higher in UV than in UA in 17 of 20 experiments. Significant reductions (p less than 0.05) in (1) maternal mixed venous-UA glucose concentration difference, and (2) UA glucose concentrations occurred at 2 and 4 days compared to the 2-hour period. Fetal alpha-amino nitrogen balance was negative at the 2-hour period, but positive 2 days and 4 days postoperatively.

In vitro perfusion studies of glucose transport in the human placenta show saturation kinetics at high glucose concentrations and competitive inhibition of glucose transfer by the nonmetablizable glucose analog 3-O-methyl-alpha-D glucopyranoside. These characteristics provide further evidence that glucose is transported by a facilitated diffusion process in the human placenta.

Bulk water flows across term human amnio-chorion are studied in vitro. The hydrodynamic permeability is found to vary with both hydrostatic and osmotic pressure. The coefficient characterizing flows generated by hydrostatic pressure is substantially larger than that characterizing osmotic flows. The measurements are utilised to predict in vivo bulk flows across the amnio-chorion. These lead to the prediction that at most a flux of 34-83 ml/day may occur across amnio-chorion directed outwards from the amniotic cavity, the principal contribution to this arising from the effects of hydrostatic pressure.

Human umbilical vein and artery diameters reduce significantly during the first 2 min after delivery, whereas blood gas tensions do not change significantly. Gas tension changes, therefore, cannot account for the reduction in the umbilical vessel diameters which occurs during this time.

The simultaneous diffusion of 14C-succinylcholine and p-amino hippurate across human placental tissue in vitro was measured. Column chromatographic purification of the radioactivity followed by paper chromatographic analysis showed little alteration of the succinylcholine during the course of these experiments. Similar chloroform-buffer partition coefficients for the two solutes were measured. Thus in these experiments, the nearly identical transfer rates of these two similar sized, lipid-insoluble compounds indicated that succinylcholine crosses human placental tissue in quantitites compatible with its molecular size and lipophobic nature, and that the diffusion rate is not significantly influenced by its increased molecular charge.
