Electrolytes and Acid-Base Balance in Hypothermia

D. Robert Axelrod 1 and David E. Bass 1

1 From the Stress Physiology Branch, Environmental Protection Division, Quartermaster Research and Development Center, Natick, and the Department of Physiology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts

Dogs were cooled in an ice-water bath, and plasma electrolytes were measured at heart temperatures of 38°C, 28°C and 25°C. A ‘cold acidosis’ occurred during hypothermia that is attributable largely to temperature-influenced physico-chemical factors related to the buffer systems. A slight respiratory depression is of greater importance in decreasing plasma ph at lower body temperature than at normal body temperature.
