| Abstract: | In experiments on dogs whose circulation was stopped for 10 min by electric shock the acid-base balance of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood was studied in the postresuscitation period. Although uncompensated systemic acidosis continued for 1 h of the postresuscitation period, acidosis of the CSF was compensated much sooner and was maintained for 6 h at the initial level. Despite the high lactate concentration for 3 h of the postresuscitation period, the bicarbonate concentration during this period remained close to its initial value.Laboratory of Experimental Physiology of Resuscitation, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR.
