[The blood and lymph electrolyte composition in the postresuscitation period]

The electrolyte composition (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+) of blood serum and lymph was studied in experiments on 17 mongrel dogs in the postresuscitation period after clinical death. The concentration of these electrolytes reduced in the postresuscitation period. Comparison of data obtained in study of blood and lymph showed the revealed changes to be of one trend. The above-said is evidence of the expediency of including in the complex of postresuscitation therapeutic and preventive measures means for normalizing the electrolyte composition of not only the blood but also the lymph.
