The role of carbon dioxide in the generation of human fetal breathing movements.

Abstract:

:To determine the role of carbon dioxide in the generation of fetal respiratory movements, the effect of induced maternal hypocapnia and hypercapnia on fetal breathing movements, gross body movements, and fetal heart rate was studied in 12 healthy pregnant women near term. Patients were studied for a 1-hour control period breathing room air followed by four randomized 15-minute study periods with patients breathing either room air, a prepared gas mixture with 2% or 4% carbon dioxide, or undergoing controlled hyperventilation as determined by monitoring end-tidal PCO2. The percentage of time fetal breathing movements correlated significantly with maternal end-tidal PCO2 (r = 0.62, p less than 0.01), increasing with maternal breathing of 2% and 4% carbon dioxide and decreasing with maternal hyperventilation. Fetal gross body movements, fetal heart rate, and fetal heart rate variability showed no significant changes. It is concluded that as in adults, the carbon dioxide level in fetuses is an important stimulus for the generation of respiratory movements, acting independent of a change in behavioral state. It is hypothesized that tonic carbon dioxide level input is an important determinant of fetal respiratory center drive, but little or no phasic carbon dioxide input exists because of continuous placental excretion, thus resulting in the episodic occurrence of breathing movements with changes in the fetal behavioral state.
