Abstract
Significant changes in uterine blood flow can occur during fetal cardiopulmonary bypass support without apparent changes in maternal hemodynamics or arterial blood gases. These changes imply a unique transplacental maternal-fetal interaction. Limited data from the twin fetus suggest a localized mechanism involving only the segment of placenta exposed to extracorporeal circulation.
