PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 hr post-dose

Population: RCT Population (N=40)

Length of time from the doxapram injection to the time at which the acute panic inventory (API) value returns to within 10 points of the baseline API value. 0=never exceeded 0, 61=exceeded by more than 10 points still at end of assessment of 60 minutes. Thus each would have a duration whether or not they had a panic attack (DIPASI)
