A patient failed to wean from mechanical ventilation. Her problem was unique in that she had a depressed central drive to breathe manifested by hypopnea when removed from the ventilator. After excluding the known problems that impair successful weaning, we empirically administered three separate infusions of doxapram, a respiratory stimulant. These infusions produced a dramatic improvement in spontaneous ventilation and led to successful weaning and hospital discharge.
