    Abstract:
    Ten patients with chronic respiratory failure (PaO2 = 56,19 +/- 10,54; PaCO2 = 49,17 +/- 7,31 torr) were given intramuscular injections of tiapride, Changes in alveolar ventilation were assessed clinically and by monitoring blood gases. No adverse effects were recorded. PaO2 was similar before and one hour after tiapride. There was no hypoventilation but, on the contrary, a slight decrease in PaCO2 (49,17 +/- 7,3 and 47,10 +/- 7,3 torr) and a significant increase in pH (7,358 +/- 0,023 and 7,378 +/- 0,028; p less than 0,05). Tiapride was also given to ten patients before fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Endoscopy was well tolerated in eight patients, in six there was no anxiety, and in all normal vigilance was retained.
