title: Uterine hemodynamics and fetal response to vena caval occlusion in sheep.
abstract: The present experiments should show if vena caval occlusion (V. C. O.) results in a decrease in uterine blood flow and increase in uterine vascular resistance (UVR). We are further interested to know, if V. C. O. influences fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal blood pressure (BP).
