Effects of normobaric hyperoxia on haemodynamic parameters of healthy full‐term parturients

Abstract: SummaryFifteen healthy, full-term women with singleton pregnancies were exposed to an increased F I O 2 of 0.4 and their haemodynamic responses measured with a non-invasive transthoracic bio-impedance monitor. There was a mean reduction in cardiac index from 3.18 to 3.03 l.min There were no significant changes in stroke index, heart rate or mean arterial pressure. This study demonstrates that even a moderate increase in inspired oxygen fraction has significant effects on the cardiovascular system of the term p… Show more

“…The use of short-term hyperoxia poses no health risks to the mother or fetus. There is no significant change in maternal heart rate or mean arterial pressure (15,16) in the otherwise healthy mother owing to existing highly saturated hemoglobin. In the fetus, hyperoxia increases fetal movements (17) but does not change brain oxygenation, which is suggestive of a reversed brain-sparing mechanism (12).…”

“…In the present study, the values obtained while breathing medical air through the mask were used as a control for breathing 100% oxygen. Such a design has been used in other studies [ 12 , 20 , 44 ].…”

“…From previous data we had calculated that our study was adequately powered to detect a difference in CI of 0.4 l min À1 m À2 [26][27][28]. One source of error, however, is that ephedrine has both direct and indirect beta agonist properties, which could therefore affect both CI and SVRI.…”
