ABSTRACT
Doxapram is a peripheral and central respiratory stimulant, producing an increase in tidal volume and a slight increase in respiratory rate. It can temporarily overcome drug-induced respiratory and central nervous system depression, including that seen immediately postoperatively. However, it can also cause side effects, including laryngospasm and vomiting postoperatively. Doxapram-induced laryngospasm causes the increased respiratory efforts to induce more negative pleural pressure, thus causing a negative-pressure pulmonary edema.Therefore, doxapram should not be used if signs of upper airway obstruction are present.
