what is the relatively rare condition that can cause respiratory​ depression?
sleep apnea
prolonged hypoxia from respiratory depression can also lead to detrimental damage to the brain and spinal cord and can leave the person unable to walk or function normally, even if treatment with naloxone is given.









































alcohol also causes respiratory depression and therefore when taken with opioids can increase the risk of respiratory depression and death.









































in young children, opioid overdose may not be apparent right away. this is due to absorption, distribution, and metabolism differences between young children and adults, and the higher amount of opioid ingestion per kilogram of body weight.

benzoctamine









































benzoctamine is a drug that possesses sedative and anxiolytic properties. marketed as tacitin by ciba-geigy, it is different from most sedative drugs because in most clinical trials it does not produce respiratory depression, but actually stimulates the respiratory system. as a result, when compared to other sedative and anxiolytic drugs such as benzodiazepines like diazepam, it is a safer form of tranquilizing. however, when co-administered with other drugs that cause respiratory depression, like morphine, it can cause increased respiratory depression.
