Directions for suspected opioid overdose reversal:
S. A. V. E. M. E.
Stimulate and call 911/for help
Airway - give 2 rescue breaths (if chest doesn’t rise give Heimlich Maneuver)
Ventilate - 1 breath every 5 seconds
Evaluate - are they revived? If not, continue assisting
Medicate - give one dose of Narcan/ReVive and continue rescue breaths for 3 minutes
Evaluate - if not revived, give 2nd dose and continue rescue breaths until help arrives
If the person must be left unattended at any time, put them in the recovery position.
@clairezagorski.bsky.social I made this image into large 3”x3” stickers last year, and passed them out so people could put them in first aid boxes or wherever.
Any suggestions for improvement?
