Article Synopsis
- Cardiac arrest is a major global health issue, and sodium bicarbonate (SB) is often used during CPR to address metabolic acidosis, though its effectiveness is debated.
- A systematic review of studies from various medical databases found 12 relevant studies on SB's use in cardiac arrest, highlighting mixed results.
- Overall, while some studies hint at potential benefits in certain situations, the review concluded that SB is generally not recommended for standard cardiac arrest treatment, suggesting more research is needed to explore specific cases where it might be useful.
