Vital parameters and blood gases of sham and hypoxia-ischemia (HI) animals during umbilical cord occlusion (UCO). (A) Fetal mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), the small deflections (every five minutes) in the MABP curve are caused by arterial blood gas sampling; (B) fetal heart rate (HR) in beats per minute (bpm); (C) blood gas: arterial pH; (D) blood gas: arterial partial oxygen pressure (pO2); (E) blood gas: arterial partial carbon dioxide pressure (pCO2). Shaded areas (MABP and HR) and error bars (blood gases) depict standard deviation (SD). Min/‘ = minutes, d = day.
