1. Complete blood counts, respiratory rate, tidal volume, arterial and mixed venous blood gases; heart rate, cardiac output, and arterial, pulmonary artery, central venous and pulmonary wedge pressures were determined in 10 pregnant adult sheep of 42.7–65.7 kg body weight.
2.
2. Arithmetic means, standard deviations, and coefficients of variation were calculated to develop reference values; in addition, the 95% confidence limits for ranges were established.
3.
3. Comparison of derived data with that from non-pregnant sheep shows changes similar to those seen when examining pregnant and non-pregnant humans.
4.
4. These results indicate the pregnant sheep is an acceptable model for human obstetrical research. |
