  • Blue or purplish fingernails or lips
  • 柔软的四肢
  • 呕吐或咯咯声

治疗阿片类药物过量

If you suspect a person is a victim of opioid 过量, you should:

Step 1 - Identify Opioid Overdose and Check for Response
  • Ask person if he or she is okay and shout name.
  • Shake shoulders and firmly rub the middle of their chest.
  • Check for signs of an opioid 过量.
  • 让患者仰卧,接受NARCAN®鼻腔喷雾剂.
Step 2 - Give 纳洛酮®鼻 Spray
  • Remove 纳洛酮®鼻 Spray from the box. Peel back the tab with the circle to open NARCAN®鼻腔喷雾剂.
  • 拿着NARCAN®鼻腔喷雾剂,用拇指放在柱塞底部和你的 first and middle fingers on either side of the nozzle.
  • Gently insert the tip of the nozzle into either nostril. 让对方的头向后倾斜 and provide support under the neck with your hand. Gently insert the tip of the nozzle 喷进一个鼻孔,直到你的手指在喷嘴的两边碰到 人的鼻子底部.
  • Press the plunger firmly to give the dose of 纳洛酮®鼻 Spray.

  • 仔细观察这个人.
  • 如果病人没有醒过来,对声音或触摸没有反应,也没有正常呼吸 可给予另一剂量. 纳洛酮®鼻 Spray may be dosed every 2 - 3分钟, 如果可用.

纳洛酮可以迅速逆转药物过量的影响,恢复正常呼吸. 然而, Naloxone is effective for only 30-60 minutes. So, emergency care is still important 确保吸毒过量的受害者不会回到吸毒过量的状态.

给可能患有酒精中毒的人服用纳洛酮或者 过量的镇定剂不会伤害他们,但也不会帮助他们. 拨打911 to request emergency services is critical.
