This occurs when respiratory drive is lower and breaths per minute decrease - to the point that added oxygenation (or even respiratory support on a ventilator) is required. A number of conditions and diseases can cause respiratory depression. Common conditions include severe respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, exacerbation of COPD, among others.
What else can I help you with?
What to assess when administering gentamycin?
Respiratory depression or arrest
Can you die from taking propofol?
High doses can cause heart-respiratory depression. If these depressions will not be taken care of (oxygen artificial respiration for respiratory depression - Tredelenbur position for heart depression) then unfortunately it will result with death.
What are the effects of an Ativan overdose?
Respiratory and cardiac depression and possibly death.
What produces respiratory depression?
Narcan (naloxone) is used to reverse the respiratory depression caused by opiates. Otherwise, the treatment is to treat the underlying cause and to support the respiration with oxygen and, if needed, mechanical ventilation ("breathing machines").
Why morphine is not use in seizures?
Because morphinr produces drowsiness & respiratory depression
When administering Fentanyl respiratory depression peaks at 5-15 minutes?
yes
Can you take metformin and codeine together?
No. The suboxone will stop the codeine from working. Also, combining codeine and suboxone could cause respiratory depression (a decreased rate of breathing). If respiratory depression is severe enough it can cause death.
What can cause respiratory depression coma or death?
Respiratory depression can be caused by various factors, including drug overdose (especially opioids and sedatives), severe respiratory illnesses, central nervous system disorders, and certain metabolic imbalances. These conditions can lead to inadequate oxygen intake and carbon dioxide buildup in the body. If not promptly addressed, respiratory depression can progress to coma or death due to hypoxia and organ failure. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to prevent severe outcomes.
What happens to heart rate during respiratory depression?
your hart would stop and you would die
Why can't you take Tylenol 3 if you have hypothyroidism?
Because you have an increase risk for decreased respiratory depression.
What has the author Dorothy M Patteson written?
Dorothy M. Patteson has written: 'Neonatal respiratory depression' -- subject(s): Diseases, Infants (Newborn), Nursing, Programmed texts, Respiratory distress syndrome, Respiratory insufficiency in children
What CNS problem decreases respiratory drive?
Depression of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by substances like alcohol or certain medications can decrease respiratory drive. This can result in shallow breathing or even respiratory failure if it becomes severe.
