doxapram and Postoperative Complications

doxapram has been researched along with Postoperative Complications in 35 studies

Doxapram: A central respiratory stimulant with a brief duration of action. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmocopoeia, 30th ed, p1225)
doxapram : A member of the class of pyrrolidin-2-ones that is N-ethylpyrrolidin-2-one in which both of the hydrogens at the 3 position (adjacent to the carbonyl group) are substituted by phenyl groups, and one of the hydrogens at the 4 position is substituted by a 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethyl group. A central and respiratory stimulant with a brief duration of action, it is used (generally as the hydrochloride or the hydrochloride hydrate) as a temporary treatment of acute respiratory failure, particularly when superimposed on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and of postoperative respiratory depression. It has also been used for treatment of postoperative shivering.

Postoperative Complications: Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a double-blind study patients given a single dose of doxapram 1-5-2-0 mg/kg combined with morphine postoperatively had a significantly lower incidence of reflex postoperative cough and expectoration of purulent sputum than patients given morphine alone."5.04Role of doxapram in reducing pulmonary complications after major surgery. ( Dundee, JW; Gawley, TH; Gupta, PK; Jones, CJ, 1976)
"After inclusion of 18 patients a serious adverse event was encountered with development of a brain stem infarction in a 90-year-old woman receiving doxapram."2.68Adverse events with continuous doxapram infusion against late postoperative hypoxaemia. ( Kristensen, PA; Overgaard, H; Pedersen, MH; Rosenberg, J, 1996)
"Both doxapram and pethidine were effective in treating postoperative shivering 2-3 min after i."2.67Double-blind comparison between doxapram and pethidine in the treatment of postanaesthetic shivering. ( Crossley, AW; Dimitriou, V; Mahajan, RP; Singh, P, 1993)
