The mean O2 dissociation curve was calculated on blood from mature fetal lambs, delivered by Casearean section. The umbilical cord was intact in all experiments. Large, unexplained changes in pulmonary blood flow and vascular resistance were often seen in the unexpanded lungs of individual fetal lambs, with no significant change in arterial PQ2 or PCO2- Multiple regression analysis of data from 22 lambs indicated that lambs with a higher PCO2 and lower PO2 tended to have a higher pulmonary vascular resistance. First ventilation of the lungs with 1% CO2 in N2 caused a fall in pulmonary vascular resistance with a small decrease in arterial PO2 and no significant change in PCO2. Ventilation with N2 caused a further fall in vascular resistance and a decrease in arterial PCO2; ventilation with air caused a still further fall in vascular resistance and a rise in PO2. Addition of 7% CO2 to the ventilating gas caused about the same degree of vasoconstriction in the presence of air or of N2. Ventilation of the right lung only (with gas mixtures which caused changes in the arterial PO2 or PCO2 similar to those observed when both lungs were ventilated) led to similar changes in vascular resistance in the un-ventilated left lung. It was concluded that the vascular tone of the fetal lung is variable, and that it is controlled by other factors as well as the arterial PCO2 and PO2.
