A fan sent us a question. Can you help him out Pricks? Hey guys, A quick question for you: I am currently in medic class in NY and we just got done with A&P and acid-base balance (Thank you for the chart you posted the other day, was just in time for us to study for our test). I know acidosis is one of the Hs we look at with cardiac arrest patients as a possible cause, but Im a little hazy on how exactly the acidosis leads to cardiac arrest. Is it a problem with the Sodium-Potassium pump, a problem of cardiac excitability, etc. If you guys are able to explain that to me Id appreciate it as I am really trying to get a good grasp on the why of things and not just do see this, treat like this. Thanks
