چکیده
SINCE the introduction of external cardiac massage the technique and results of cardiac resuscitation have received much attention, but less information is available on the effect of cardiac arrest on respiration and circulation. The authors, who provided a resuscitation service for a general hospital, were particularly interested in these aspects and in thirty-eight of the first 100 patients they obtained an assessment of the respiratory and acid-base disturbances. The technique and results of resuscitation ai e discussed together with the results of acid-base and respiratory assessment.

Effects of Subacute Administration of Co-Trimoxazole and Folic Acid on Ovarian Tissue in Adult Female Rats
Background: Previous studies have reported the antifertility activities of sulfonamides. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of co-trimoxazole and its co-administration with folic acid on ovarian tissue in female rats.Methods: A total of 54 rats were randomly divided into 9 groups (n=6). Group I served as the control and group II (vehicle) received saline. Other groups, III to IX, r...
متن کاملChronic Ketogenic Low Carbohydrate High Fat Diet Has Minimal Effects on Acid–Base Status in Elite Athletes
Although short (up to 3 days) exposure to major shifts in macronutrient intake appears to alter acid-base status, the effects of sustained (>1 week) interventions in elite athletes has not been determined. Using a non-randomized, parallel design, we examined the effect of adaptations to 21 days of a ketogenic low carbohydrate high fat (LCHF) or periodized carbohydrate (PCHO) diet on pre- and po...
متن کاملRelationship between acid–base status and inflammation in the critically ill
INTRODUCTION There is a complex interplay between changes in acid-base components and inflammation. This manuscript aims to explore associations between plasma cytokines and chemokines and acid-base status on admission to intensive care. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study in a 13-bed ICU in a tertiary-care center in Brazil. 87 unselected patients admitted to the ICU during a 2-ye...
متن کاملAnalysis of acid excretion in fish and its application to acidic environments.
The discovery in the late 1960s of ‘dead’ or dying lakes (Beamish and Harvey, 1972) nearly devoid of living animals and plants owing to the effects of acid precipitation spawned intense research into the effects of low pH environments on the physiology of freshwater fish. Over the next decade, an extensive body of literature documented the adverse effects of acid environments on acid–base statu...
متن کاملBench-to-bedside review: Treating acid–base abnormalities in the intensive care unit – the role of renal replacement therapy
Acid-base disorders are common in critically ill patients. Metabolic acid-base disorders are particularly common in patients who require acute renal replacement therapy. In these patients, metabolic acidosis is common and multifactorial in origin. Analysis of acid-base status using the Stewart-Figge methodology shows that these patients have greater acidemia despite the presence of hypoalbumine...
متن کاملEffects of 12-Week Low or Moderate Dietary Acid Intake on Acid–Base Status and Kidney Function at Rest and during Submaximal Cycling
Prolonged effects of dietary acid intake on acid-base status and kidney function have not yet been studied in an intervention study in healthy subjects. Dietary acid load can be estimated by calculating the potential renal acid load (PRAL) of foods. Effects of low-PRAL and moderate-PRAL diets on acid-base status and kidney function were investigated during a 12-week exercise training period. He...
