How to Use Naxalone to Reverse a Drug Overdose

Step 1

Evaluate for signs of overdose
(Slow/no breathing, blue fingernails/lips, unable to wake).

Step 2

Perform sternum rub (Vigorously rub breast bone in the middle of the chest).

Step 3

If no response, call 911 for help.

Step 4

Administer Naloxone (Refer to the above video for instructions on both intermuscular and nasal naloxone).

Step 5

Place hand on person's chin, tilt head back, and pinch the nose closed. Perform rescue breathing (1 breath every 5 seconds).

Step 6

If the person does not respond after 2-3 minutes, administer a second dose.

Step 7

Repeat steps 4-6 until the person responds or EMS arrives.

Step 8

Do not slap or use ice/cold water to try and wake them. This could put them into shock.
