Narcan 101: Saving Lives!

Did you know that Narcan can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose? It’s easy to use and can be a lifesaver! If you suspect someone has overdosed, don’t hesitate to use it. Remember, it’s safe even if you’re unsure about the substance involved! 💪❤️

👉 Learn how to administer Narcan effectively!

Here’s how to administer Narcan:

1. Lay the person flat on their back, making sure nothing is in their mouth or blocking their airway.

2. Open the outer carton of Narcan and peel back the inner packaging to remove the nasal spray device.

3. Hold the device with your thumb at the bottom of the plunger and your pointer and middle fingers on either side of the nozzle.

4. Tilt the person’s head back, and insert the nozzle into one nostril until both your pointer and middle fingers touch the bottom of the person’s nose.

5. Firmly press the plunger to deliver the spray dose into the person’s nose and remove the device once it’s delivered.

6. Once you give them the first dose of Narcan, you should support their breathing by starting CPR or doing hands-only CPR until they begin breathing on their own or until emergency services arrive. If the person starts breathing again and becomes responsive in two to three minutes, the Narcan worked. You can rotate them onto their side in the recovery position and sit with them until emergency services arrive.

7. If in two to three minutes the person is still unresponsive or not breathing, or if breathing trouble resumes after they’ve started breathing, you can administer the second dose of Narcan in the opposite nostril. If they stop breathing again at any point, continue to support their breathing until emergency services arrive.
