GPT on Question 16, Sep 12

How does naloxone reverse an opioid overdose, and when should a bystander use it?

Naloxone (Narcan) rapidly reverses opioid overdose by competing with opioids—such as fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone, or methadone—for the same receptors in the brain. It displaces the opioid and can restore breathing within about 2–3 minutes. It does not reverse overdoses from non-opioid drugs, though it generally will not harm someone if opioids are not involved.

When a bystander should use it

Give naloxone if an opioid overdose is possible and the person:

•Cannot be awakened or is unusually unresponsive
•Is breathing very slowly, irregularly, or not at all
•Has pinpoint pupils
•Has blue/gray lips or fingertips
•Is making choking, snoring, or gurgling sounds

If unsure, use it—do not wait for certainty.

What to do

1.Call emergency services immediately.
2.Give naloxone according to the device instructions—commonly one nasal spray into one nostril.
3.Provide rescue breaths or CPR if the person is not breathing normally; use an AED if available.
4.If there is no response after 2–3 minutes, give another dose, preferably in the other nostril. Continue additional doses every 2–3 minutes if available.
5.Stay with the person. Once breathing, place them on their side if possible.

Naloxone’s effect often lasts only 30–90 minutes, shorter than many opioids, so breathing can slow again. Emergency evaluation is still essential. The person may wake abruptly with withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, vomiting, sweating, or pain; keep them safe and do not let them take more opioids.
