OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the change in cerebral blood flow and substrate metabolism in relation to electrocortical activity in the near-term ovine fetus with repeated umbilical cord occlusion of a severe degree.STUDY DESIGN: Eight near-term fetal sheep were studied through a 2-hour control period, a 6-hour experimental period with repeated cord occlusion of 4 minutes' duration every 90 minutes, and a 16-hour recovery period. Regional cerebral blood flow was measured with the microsphere technique before, during, and after the first cord occlusion; blood flow in the superior sagittal sinus, the cerebral perfusion pressure, and the electrocortical activity were monitored continuously. Brachiocephalic arterial and sagittal venous blood were sampled at selected time points for blood gas and pH, oxygen content, and glucose and lactate levels.RESULTS: Severe umbilical cord occlusion as studied resulted in profound hypoxemia with modest hypercapnia and acidemia, to a similar degree with each insult, but with a return to preocclusion values after occluder release. Glucose values also fell acutely with each cord occlusion by approximately 30% but showed an overall increase through the experimental period, from 0.80 to 1.44 mmol/L; lactate values showed an increase, from 1.21 to 6.10 mmol/L (both P
