From: Pulmonary hemodynamic responses to in utero ventilation in very immature fetal sheep
Changes in pulmonary blood flow (PBF) within uteroventilation (IUV). A) PBF (mL/min) measured in the left pulmonary artery of IUV exposed fetuses (n = 7) pre-IUV, following lung liquid drainage (LLD) and throughout IUV. Asterisks indicate values which are significantly different from pre-IUV values (p < 0.001). B) PBF (mL/min) measured in the left pulmonary artery after sub-division of fetuses into responders (open circles, n = 4) and non-responders (closed circles, n = 3); values were measured pre-IUV, following lung liquid drainage (LLD) and throughout IUV. Asterisks indicate values which are significantly different between responding and non-responding fetuses (p < 0.001).
