Effect of a ring-deleted atrial natriuretic factor analogue on ovine fetal renal and cardiovascular function.

abstract：:Birth is characterized by swift and complex transitions in hemodynamic and respiratory variables. Unrecognized pathologies or incidents may quickly become fatal or cause permanent damage. This article introduces an essential component of an acute perinatal care simulator, namely a model for educational simulation of n...
