Increasingly, EMS Personnel must respond to opiate addiction and abuse cases involving patients of all ages. Implementation of strong BLS airway management and administration of Intranasal Naloxone are imperative to treating such patients when they are in need of help.
This course is designed to provide the EMS Provider with a basic understanding of airway anatomy, BLS airway management and the treatment of suspected opioid overdose.
As always, refer to your local/state/regional protocols. This course is designed for ongoing educational purposes, not initial training. |
