Reversal of Electrocardiographic Sodium Channel Blockade Changes with Bicarbonate Therapy in a Pediatric Patient Post-Cardiopulmonary Arrest Secondary to Methadone Toxicity

Is there a role for sodium bicarbonate in treating lactic acidosis from shock?

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Bicarbonate therapy for severe lactic acidosis remains a controversial therapy. RECENT FINDINGS The most recent 2008 Surviving Sepsis guidelines strongly recommend against the use of bicarbonate in patients with pH at least 7.15, while deferring judgment in more severe acidemia. We review the mechanisms causing lactic acidosis in the critically ill and the scientific rationa...

Current Pharmacological Advances in the Treatment of Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac arrest is defined as the sudden cessation of spontaneous ventilation and circulation. Within 15 seconds of cardiac arrest, the patient loses consciousness, electroencephalogram becomes flat after 30 seconds, pupils dilate fully after 60 seconds, and cerebral damage takes place within 90-300 seconds. It is essential to act immediately as irreversible damage can occur in a short time. Car...
