OBJECTIVE: The objective was to characterize the effect of glucocorticoid treatment on fetal
organ blood flow and regional cerebral blood flow in normally grown fetuses and fetuses …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with altered fetal cardiovascular function
to ensure adequate perfusion of essential organs. IUGR fetuses are at risk of preterm …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine glucocorticoid effects on umbilical
placental perfusion. STUDY DESIGN: Pregnant sheep instrumented with uterine and …

OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to study the hemodynamic effects of betamethasone on fetuses
with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) with absent or reversed end-diastolic (ARED) …

1 Glucocorticoid administration to women at risk of preterm delivery to accelerate fetal lung
maturation has become standard practice. Antenatal glucocorticoids decrease the incidence …

Objectives: Although mechanisms of glucocorticoids-induced parenchymal lung maturation
have been largely studied, little is known about the pulmonary vascular effects of antenatal …

Objective To determine the acute effects of corticosteroids on the cardiovascular system in
growth‐restricted fetuses. Methods This was a prospective cohort study conducted at a …

Objective: We sought to determine the effects of the intramuscular maternal administration of
betamethasone to the pregnant baboon at 0.7 of gestation on fetal blood pressure and heart …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether persistently absent umbilical artery end-diastolic flow in
the intrauterine growth-restricted fetus after betamethasone administration is associated with …

Antenatal glucocorticoids are used to promote the maturation of fetuses at risk for preterm
delivery. While perinatal glucocorticoid exposure has clear immediate benefits to …
