H.  aReference standards and the physiologic significance of the pregnant goat (Capra hircus) as a human model in obstetrical research.h[electronic resource]  c1987  aAbstract: 1. Amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, serum, and urine chemistries; respiratory rate and arterial and mixed venous blood gases; heart rate, hematocrit, and cardiac output; and arterial, pulmonary artery, central venous and pulmonary wedge pressures were measured in 20 pregnant adult goats of 19.5–34 kg body weight. 2. Arithmetic means, standard deviations, and coefficients of variation were calculated to develop reference values; in addition, the 95% confidence limits for ranges were established. 3. Comparison of derived data with that from non-pregnant goats shows changes similar to those seen when examining pregnant and non-pregnant humans. 4. These results indicate the pregnant goat is an acceptable model for human obstetrical research. Develop specific physiologic reference values in the pregnant goat which are not available in the literature; re-evaluated several published reference values using our own equipment and techniques and; examine the differences in the reference values between pregnant and non-pregnant goats, and to contrast the changes with those seen in comparision between pregnant and non-pregnant humans.  aGoats  aHemodynamics  aLungs  aPhysiology  aPregnancy  aReproduction  aCaprino  aFisiologia  aObstetrícia  aPrenhez  aReprodução Animal  aReference values  aRespiration1 aHANKINS, G.
