ABSTRACT
18.e.1. Ashton, H., Cigarette smoking in pregnancy: differences in peripheral circulation between smokers and non-smokers, Br. J. Obstet. Gynaecol., 82, 868—881, 1975. Smokers (5 to 30 cigarettes per day) had higher peripheral blood flow in their feet and higher finger and toe temperatures than nonsmokers during the last trimester of pregnancy. Calf blood flow was not different. Smoking one cigarette resulted in a decrease in blood flow in the feet and in finger and toe skin temperature. Smoking caused an increase in blood flow in the calf during the second trimester, but a decrease during the third trimester.
