Live Saving Measures

My three takeaways from CPR and the naloxone presentation are… I learned that naloxone replaces the opioid cell in your brain. I also learned that if you give naloxone to someone who doesn’t need it, they will be completely fine. Because naloxone doesn’t negatively affect the body, it makes it safe to use even if you don’t need it. Finally, I learned that when someone wakes up from an overdose, they are likely to be violent and may even run away from you. I am more aware that no matter where I go, I may need to do CPR or give a naloxone shot to save someone’s life. Overdose and cardiac arrest can happen to anyone anywhere and I am able to help with the information I’ve learned this week.
