And you're like, I don't know, like just start chest compressions.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

So that's why we're like, Hey, do you see good chest rise and fall?

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

If the answer is no, then start chest compressions.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

Like you're not going to, you do less harm that way.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

But these patients, these opioid response, uh, Narcan or opioid responses, a respiratory suppression.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

So you may not see them breathing super well, but they need Narcan, um,

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

And the problem comes in that I've seen, especially like on the law enforcement side, they're squirting Narcan up their nose.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

And so now it's sitting in the nasal cavity and the absorption rate is not great.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

And so we really need a BVM, a bag valve mask to get that circulating into the respiratory system and get it absorbed.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

So we're getting on scene with cops pushing six and eight milligrams of Narcan.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

And we're like, hey, stop for a second.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

Let's ventilate this patient because this is not a heart problem.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

This is a respiratory problem.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

But then just recognizing that the need for Narcan is going to stop that.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

And now basically if you get these control meds or whatever, they're giving Narcan away for free.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

Like I just saw a Facebook post today that the mental health department here in my county is giving away Narcan for free.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

So they're like, hey, if you think you have somebody on this or whatever, like here's Narcan, let's give it out.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

So I think the more easy access we have to Narcan, the better off we're going to be.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Civilian Medical Podcast 081 โ€“ 2025 CPR Guidelines

And honestly, as a provider, like I feel like my mind has changed even over the last couple of years about these types of calls.

I'm like, I've been there.
