Fentanyl Disrupts Vagal Control of Airway Tone to Induce Transient Obstruction. [PDF]
Acta Physiol (Oxf)ABSTRACT Aim Opioid‐induced respiratory depression (OIRD) is the primary cause of death in opioid overdose, resulting from both suppressed respiratory rhythm and increased airway and thoracic rigidity that compromise ventilation and resuscitation. While the effect(s) of opioids on central rhythm‐generating circuits are well documented, the mechanisms ...

Effects of sugammadex on heart rate variability in anesthetized male rats [PDF]
Physiological ReportsThe administration of sugammadex has been associated with bradycardia and rarely asystole; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We examined heart rate variability (HRV) as an index of autonomic nervous system activity and investigated the ...
