Asphyxial Cardiac Arrest

Rapid and repeated administration of concentrated NaHCO3 solutions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has become routine since the advent of modern resuscitation techniques (1), although it has been pointed out since the early 1960s that acidemia results from prolonged arrest time and that brief arrests may not require NaHCO3 administration (6,8,13). In spite of the widespread use of large amounts of NaHCO3 there is no convincing evidence that the routine use of this drug offers a clear benefit. Only a few studies have been undertaken to ascertain the role of acidosis and acidemia in survival from cardiac arrest, and the possibility of overcorrecting with NaHCO3 in CPR cases (3,4,8,11). Therefore, the intention of this study was: 1) to clarify the role of acidemia in CPR; 2) to investigate the effects of overcorrection of acidemia (leading to metabolic alkalemia; 3) to test the accurate doses of NaHCO3; 4) to examine the optimal sequence of drug administration in CPR, i.e., whether NaHCO3 or epinephrine should be administered as the first drug.During attempts at restoring spontaneous circulation (CPCR Phase II, advanced life support) (12), and during post-CPR prolonged life support (CPCR Phase III) (12), measurements were made in dogs following resuscitation from asphyxial cardiac arrest. The model and methods used have been described in the preceding paper of this Journal. Asphyxial cardiac arrest (mechanical asystole, electromechanical dissociation) was reversed with open-chest CPR and defibrillation as necessary to 20 min max.

Native Host

The island marble butterfly (Euchloe ausonides insulanus), thought to be extinct throughout the 20th century until re-discovered on a single remote island in Puget Sound in 1998, has become the focus of a concerted protection effort to prevent its extinction. However, efforts to “restore” island marble habitat conflict with efforts to “restore” the prairie ecosystem where it lives, because of the butterfly’s use of a non-native “weedy” host plant. Through a case study of the island marble project, we examine the practice of ecological restoration as the enactment of particular norms that define which species are understood to belong in the place being restored. We contextualize this case study within ongoing debates over the value of “native” species, indicative of deep-seated uncertainties and anxieties about the role of human intervention to alter or manage landscapes and ecosystems, in the time commonly described as the “Anthropocene.” We interpret the question of “what plants and animals belong in a particular place?” as not a question of scientific truth, but a value-laden construct of environmental management in practice, and we argue for deeper reflexivity on the part of environmental scientists and managers about the social values that inform ecological restoration.
