Bicarbonate in arrest - a podcast by Simon Laing, Rob Fenwick & James Yates
from 2017-09-11T00:01
Bicarbonate use in cardiac arrest.
The topic still provokes debate and multiple publications on the topic still hit the press reels. People talk of the increased rate of ROSC and the improvement in metabolic state, whilst others talk of the increase in mortality and worsening of intracellular acidosis.
A recent paper in Resuscitation looked at a huge cohort of patients receiving bicarbonate in arrest prehospitally. In this episode we take a look at the paper, review the guidelines and give our take on the current situation with regards bicarb in arrest
We hope you enjoy it and would love to hear your feedback!
