Features and applications of acid-base changes in cardiopulmonary resuscitation / 中华危重病急救医学

ABSTRACT

The cases of cardiac arrest are increasing because of the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the necessary measure to rescue these patients. But the success rate of recovery is still low. Acid-base disturbance is one of the important factors affecting the recovery effect. Overseas and domestic studies in recent years focused on the acid-base changes and mechanism in CPR have founded that it exits extraordinary hypercapnia and CO2 spike, which have important guidance to the clinical work. The research for the arterial blood gas analysis during CPR, changes in the exact time, and treatment of hypercapnia and acid-basic change in different etiology and different populations were very few, therefore the a lot of clinical data is needed to accumulate for further study.
