Ampakine CX1942 attenuates opioid‐induced respiratory depression and corrects the hypoxaemic effects of etorphine in immobilized goats (Capra hircus)
ConclusionsCX1942 attenuated opioid‐induced respiratory depression and corrected the hypoxaemic effects of etorphine in immobilized goats.
Clinical relevanceAmpakines potentially offer advantages over doxapram, a conventional treatment, in reversing etorphine‐induced respiratory depression without causing unwanted side effects, particularly arousal, in immobilized animals.
