| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study was performed to make clear the efficacy of a pumpless artificial placenta (AP) as a resuscitation devise on persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn, induced by antenatal acute hypoxia, using experimentally instrumented fetal sheep. The fetuses were divided into 3 groups, based on methods for resuscitation; a control, mechanical ventilation (MV) and AP groups (each n=3). The total required hours of the MV at 24 hours after the resuscitation was compared between the 3 groups. The time (mean ±SEM) in the MV group (12.3±3.4) showed to be longer than that in the other 2 groups, no difference was found between the control (3.0±3.0) and AP (6.0±6.0) group and 2 of the 3 fetuses in the AP group was not required MV. The results might suggest the potent efficacy of the pumpless AP system as a neonatal resuscitation devise.
