Abstract
A marked decrease in fetal tracheal fluid flow and an increase in pulmonary surfactant efflux were found after infusion of epinephrine into fetal sheep. Endogenous catecholamines possibly may play a role in preparing the fetal lung for birth.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
