Key result
Halothane and isoflurane anesthesia were evaluated for their impact on maternal and fetal cardiovascular and acid-base changes in near-term pregnant ewes.
Why the study?
Does general anesthesia with halothane and isoflurane affect maternal and fetal cardiovascular and acid-base changes in near-term pregnant ewes?

No immediate implications for obstetric anesthesia; leaves open translational research on volatile agents in pregnancy.
To determine the nature and extent of fetal metabolic changes during administration of inhalation anesthesia to the mother, the authors studied maternal and fetal cardiovascular and acid-base changes during general anesthesia with halothane and isoflurane in 16 near-term pregnant ewes with chronical
