  Cardiac arrest

2020
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest, which causes over 60% of adult coronary heart disease deaths. Most cardiac arrests are preventable. Survival depends on early recognition and prompt initiation of chest compressions and ventilations (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and early defibrillation

Cardiac Issues in Cardiac Arrest [PDF]

open access: possibleSeminars in Neurology, 2017
The prognosis of cardiac arrest (CA) remains poor, with a survival rate at hospital discharge between 6 and 10%. To improve this disappointing outcome, efforts are needed regarding each step in the chain of survival. In this review, the authors focus on cardiac issues, as the heart itself could be both a cause and a target in this setting.

The Acidosis of Cardiac Arrest

New England Journal of Medicine, 1968
Abstract Among 22 patients studied during cardiac arrest, 10 had predominantly respiratory, and eight metabolic acidosis. Most patients with metabolic acidosis had myocardial infarction, had an arterial pH of 7.15 to 7.35, and appeared to be benefited by sodium bicarbonate with or without hyperventilation.

Blood samples were obtained in 24 patients immediately after diagnosis of CA and again ten minutes later. Samples were also obtained from 22 patients admitted consecutively to the intensive care unit (ICU).
