…demonstrating how to use Narcan to reverse opioid overdose and save lives
“Before we wrap, I want to show something that can save a life. How do you use Narcan? And we are going to let the doctor do this. Absolutely. So Narcan is a specific antagonist to opioid medications like fentanyl or heroin or Percocet. Anytime someone has been overdosed with an opioid, what kills them is respiratory depression. It basically turns off the drive to breathe. So if a person is not breathing because of opioids, you can simply spray Narcan in one nostril and within 30 seconds or more or a little longer, it can begin to reverse that effect and get them to resume breathing.”
