      Why Give Breaths?

      This video discusses why naloxone is only a part of the overdose response and why giving breaths is critical to keep someone alive and healthy.

      SAVE ME Steps for NaloxoneTraining.com

      This 6 minute instructional Video outlines the SAVE ME Steps for responding to an overdose and was developed to support the NaloxoneTraining.com web app. 

      Please Note: The unregulated drug supply is unpredictable and information about how to recognize and respond to a drug poisoning (overdose) can change. The following information in this SAVE ME video has changed:

      • Intramuscular naloxone should be injected into a large muscle group such as the thigh or upper arm. We no longer recommend injection into the butt/gluteal muscle
      • One dose of intranasal (nasal) naloxone should be sprayed into one nostril. 
      • We no longer recommend using a sternal rub to see if someone is responsive and do not recommend shaking or slapping. Instead squeeze their fingertips or the muscle between the neck and shoulder
      • Naloxone wears off after 30-120 minutes. This has changed from earlier guidance of 20-90 minutes
      • Breathing normally means: taking 12 or more breaths per minute AND breathing on their own AND no unusual breathing sounds. 
      • Once normal breathing is restored, stop giving naloxone. Otherwise give another dose 3 minutes after the last injection or 3-5 minutes after last nasal spray. This has changed from earlier guidance of 5 minutes

      We thank you for your patience as we work to update our resources.
