Five-compartment model. The structure of the final five-compartment model consists of the central volume of distribution of the mother (V1), the peripheral volumes of distribution of the mother (V2 and V3), the volume of distribution for the venous umbilical cord (V4), and the volume of distribution for the neonate (V5). The k values represent the intercompartmental exchange rate constants.
