hexamethonium and Apnea

hexamethonium has been researched along with Apnea in 5 studies

Hexamethonium: A nicotinic cholinergic antagonist often referred to as the prototypical ganglionic blocker. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been used for a variety of therapeutic purposes including hypertension but, like the other ganglionic blockers, it has been replaced by more specific drugs for most purposes, although it is widely used a research tool.

Apnea: A transient absence of spontaneous respiration.

"After saline pretreatment, response to 5-HT consisted of immediate and brief apnea, bradycardia, and hypotension, followed by sustained tachypnea, tachycardia, pulmonary hypertension, and hypocapnic hypoxemia."3.69Parasympathetic component of 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced pulmonary dysfunctions in healthy calves. ( Amory, H; Desmecht, DJ; Lekeux, PM; Linden, AS, 1996)
" In 11 of 13 dogs studied, reproducible responses of either apnea (n = 9) or rapid shallow breathing (n = 2) were elicited immediately after the first or second breath of smoke inhalation: apneic duration reached 398 +/- 47% (mean +/- SEM) of the mean baseline expiratory duration."3.67Hexamethonium aerosol prevents pulmonary reflexes induced by cigarette smoke in dogs.
