The relative buffering power of cardioplegic solutions
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1987 Those factors that prolong myocardial tolerance to global ischemia constitute an important prerequisite for effective cardioplegia. This study contrasts the relative buffering power of bicarbonate-based and tromethamine-based hyperkalemic crystalloid cardioplegic solution with histidine protein-type buffer (Bretschneider) solution.
