title: Cardiac arrest temperature: the effect of ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide on baboons.
abstract: The effect of high inspired carbon dioxide concentrations and i.v. ethyl alcohol on the temperature at which cardiac arrest occurred was studied in chacma baboons. Alcohol-treated baboons developed cardiac arrest at a temperature of 24.3 degrees C (SD +/- 0.85) and control animals at 27 degrees C (SD +/- 1.30). There were no signs of cardiac failure before the occurrence of ventricular fibrillation.
