OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides, LPS) affect the fetal cardiovascular system in a way likely to cause brain damage.
METHODS: Thirteen fetal sheep were chronically instrumented at a mean gestational age of 107 +/- 1 days. After control measurements of organ blood flow (microsphere method), blood gases, and acid base balance were obtained, seven of 13 fetuses received LPS (53 +/- 3 microg/kg fetal weight) intravenously. Sixty minutes later, asphyxia was induced by occlusion of the maternal aorta for 2 minutes. Measurements of organ blood flows were made at -60, -1, +2, +4, +30, and +60 minutes.
RESULTS: Unlike in the control group, after LPS infusion there was a significant decrease in arterial oxygen saturation (-46%; P <.001) and pH (P <.001). In LPS-treated fetuses the portion of combined ventricular output directed to the placenta decreased significantly (-76%; P <.001), whereas output to the fetal body (+60%; P <.001), heart (+167%; P <.05), and adrenals (+229%; P <.01) increased. Furthermore, during asphyxia circulatory centralization was impaired considerably in LPS-treated fetuses, and there was clear evidence of circulatory decentralization. This decentralization caused a severe decrease in cerebral oxygen delivery by 70%. Within 30 minutes after induction of asphyxia five of seven LPS-treated fetuses died, whereas all control fetuses recovered completely.
CONCLUSIONS: Endotoxemia severely impaired fetal cardiovascular control during normoxia and asphyxia, resulting in a considerable decrease in cerebral oxygen delivery. These effects might have important effects in the development of fetal brain damage associated with intrauterine infection.
