“Nevertheless, medical resuscitation with beta‐agonist drug epinephrine ) and sodium bicarbonate may induce transfer hypokaliemia, with deleterious effect on membrane stabilization, sustaining VF.”
“Conversely, we must keep in mind that medical resuscitation using a beta-agonist drug epinephrine ) and sodium bicarbonate can induce transfer hypokalemia.”
“Sodium bicarbonate alone resulted in a modest increase in survival rate but this increased markedly when sodium bicarbonate was used with epinephrine or norepinephrine.”
“In mixtures alkalinised with sodium bicarbonate, epinephrine concentrations decreased significantly over 24 h (p<0.0001), whereas those in nonalkalinised mixtures did not change with time.”
