Oxygen and Antipyrene Diffusion During In Vitro Human Placental Perfusion

Year: 1971

Type: article

Abstract: Using an in vitro placental perfusion apparatus, the diffusion of oxygen and antipyrene across the human placenta was studied. At varying levels of maternal pO2 there was no equilibration of fetal pO2 across the placenta. Antipyrene diffusion was relatively slow. It is suggested that this apparatus is not physiologically accurate and that any further data from these in vitro methods be accompanied by measurements of other physiological parameters.
