Naloxone Training – How to Save a Life

How to Save a Life – Reversing an Overdose

Administering naloxone, commonly known as the brand name NARCAN®, is easy to administer and can reverse a fentanyl overdose by blocking the effects of the opioid. People who are experiencing an overdose may have extremely slowed or stopped breathing, make choking, gurgling or snoring sounds, have blue lips or fingertips, or are completely unresponsive. Naloxone can quickly restore normal respiration and can be given by injection or nasal spray.

Does your business or organization need a NaloxBox Kit? This is a harm reduction effort designed to ensure that individuals working in high drug traffic areas can respond to overdose emergencies and assist while waiting for Emergency Medical Services. Always call 911!

Watch the immersive training video on an Apple iPhone

1. Watching the video on an Apple phone is sightly different because iPhones don’t natively support non-Apple VR videos.

2. There are a number of third party VR viewing apps for the iPhone, one that we’ve found works well is Homido Player, which you can find in the App Store. Install that and open it.

(This is with side by side turned off)
