Abstract
Ritodrine is a beta-adrenergic agonist commonly used to inhibit premature labor contractions in women. The primary goal of ritodrine tocolysis is to prolong gestation, however, other indications may include fetal distress. The purpose of the current study was to examine the metabolic and behavioral effects of ritodrine in the fetus, using the chronically instrumented pregnant sheep as an experimental model. Ritodrine was infused continuously into 11 fetal lambs at a rate of 2.6 ug/minute for a period of 8, 12 or 24 hours. Samples were taken simultaneously at predetermined time periods from a fetal femoral artery, umbilical vein, maternal femoral artery and uterine vein for the analysis of fetal and maternal arterial and umbilical and uterine venous blood gases, acid-base status, hematocrit, ritodrine concentration, uterine and umbilical blood flow, and glucose, lactate and oxygen concentrations and fluxes.
