“Conversely, we must keep in mind that medical resuscitation using a beta-agonist drug epinephrine ) and sodium bicarbonate can induce transfer hypokalemia.”
“ Sodium bicarbonate usage rates correlated inversely with the sites' intervals from collapse (r = - 0.579 P = 0.018) from initiation of ACLS (r = - 0.685 P = 0.003) and from first epinephrine (r = - 0.611 P = 0.012) to SB administration.”

“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.”
