Abstract
In 47 dogs under hypothermia, ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, and resuscitation
were successfully accomplished by using various solutions of potassium chloride, sodium
lactate, and Ringer's lactate. Although further investigation should be done, this
technique may offer an opportunity for useful surgery in the motionless heart, without
the danger of air embolism.
