Side effects of doxapram infusion

A D Baxter

    European Journal of Intensive Care Medicine
    |September 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Severe adverse reactions like hallucinations and violence occurred in patients receiving low doses of doxapram infusion. Hepatic dysfunction may be linked to these prolonged and serious doxapram side effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Doxapram hydrochloride is a respiratory stimulant used in clinical settings.
    • Understanding the full spectrum of doxapram's adverse effects is crucial for patient safety.

    Observation:

    • Four patients exhibited severe neuropsychiatric symptoms, including extreme restlessness, violence, and hallucinations.
    • These reactions manifested even at low doses of intravenous doxapram infusion.

    Findings:

    • A potential association between doxapram-induced neuropsychiatric events and underlying hepatic dysfunction is proposed.
    • The observed adverse reactions were persistent, lasting well beyond the discontinuation of doxapram infusion.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should exercise caution when administering doxapram, particularly in patients with compromised liver function.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms behind these severe doxapram reactions and to develop effective management strategies.
