Quantitative physico-chemical analysis of the acidosis of cardiac arrest.

Metabolic acidosis is a common finding after cardiac arrest. Until recently this acidosis was mainly attributed to lactate. The physico-chemical approach to acid-base balance permits the detection of previously unmeasured ions. These ions have been shown to affect the acid-base status of patients.
