The effects of cocaine administration on cardiovascular parameters were studied in anesthetized nonpregnant and pregnant rabbits with no prior exposure to cocaine and in pregnant rabbits repeatedly administered cocaine (4 mg/kg, bid, iv) for 15-20 days prior to the experiment. Rabbits were instrumented to determine the effects of cocaine on blood pressure, heart rate, and organ blood flows. Administration of the 1 and 2 mg/kg doses of cocaine increased blood pressure and decreased heart rate in both pregnant and nonpregnant rabbits.
