Résumé

The characteristics of fetal breathing movements were analyzed in 13 fetuses who were intrauterine growth retarded and in a comparison group of 13 well-grown fetuses. The numbers of minutes of breathing activity per hour were similar for the two groups; the increase (p < 0.05) after maternally administered glucose was due to longer (p < 0.05) and more frequent (p < 0.05) breathing episodes, and was mainly deep breathing. The deep breathing rate increased significantly (p < 0.05) after glucose. The two groups exhibited similar low occurrences of shallow breathing (less than 5 minutes per hour) throughout the experiments. No significant differences could be demonstrated between intrauterine growth-retarded and well-grown fetuses with respect to the amount, rate, and pattern of breathing activity during fasting or after oral administration of glucose to the mother.
