Aminophylline was given (125 mg i.v.) in 24 cases with fetal hypotrophy. Blood flow was measured (Doppler technique) before aminophylline injection, 30 min. and 3-4 hours after. Blood pressure was monitored continuously, CTG was performed many times before and after administration of aminophylline. After administration of aminophylline diastolic blood pressure decreased during 3-4 hours and blood flow in the arcuate artery increased. There were no changes in the blood flow in the umbilical artery and fetal aorta after administration of aminophylline. We didn't observe any changes in CTG before and after administration of aminophylline.
