lorazepam and Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure

lorazepam has been researched along with Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure in 20 studies

Lorazepam: A benzodiazepine used as an anti-anxiety agent with few side effects. It also has hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and considerable sedative properties and has been proposed as a preanesthetic agent.
