Abstract

The atropine test for placental function was applied to 29 gravidas as controls, and to 24 pre-eclamptic, 3 eclamptic, 11 chronically hypertensive, and 16 diabetic patients. While the percentage of pre-eclamptic and diabetic gravidas showing transfer of atropine to the fetus was less than the controls, the test was not sufficiently precise to serve as an indicator of placental function in any one individual.
