Addiction Toxicology Case Conference - January 2022

Case 1: “I’ve hit the patient with 3 doses of 4 mg IN naloxone but they haven’t woken up! Do you have anymore?”  
A patient down with miosis, bradypnea, and signs emesis is found by a bystander who administers naloxone and calls 911.

Case 2: Get it out to the ‘hot spots’: Optimizing naloxone distribution and associated support.
A street-level recovery program distributes (and collects) naloxone in areas of town with extensive street-level drug use and high overdose rates.  Strategies for distribution, syringe collection, and other harm reduction activities discussed.
