Founded in 2015, the Canadian Academy for Prehospital Emergency and Medicine looks to provide health and safety services, programs, and products to help reduce risk, save money and save lives.
Our Health and Safety services include the formulation, implementation, and inspection of workplace policies as well as on-site paramedic services for events, worksites, and Covid-19 testing.
Our training courses are Red Cross accredited, based on up-to-date empirical research, and designed by paramedics that prepare you in areas like CPR and AED Response, First Aid, Basic Life Support, and much more.
We also offer an extensive line of medical-grade health and safety equipment like PPE, first-aid kits, and defibrillators.
In response to Covid-19, we now offer in-house PCR and Rapid Covid-19 Antigen and Antibody testing.
What happens if you accidentally give it a person with heartissiues,Asthma or seiuzures?When they have normal medical issiues or faintings due to their medical problems?
They should have let people know there is also an 8 mg nasal spray version available. I have seen a person needing 2 8mg doses to revive them. They are available thru The Health Brigade.
I'm watching this video. I've had friends who needed it. I always carried it and knew that my friends would know how to use it. I was infantry. At my second job (part time fast food), I just met another vet... who was heavy on opiates. The kids at work thought he was stoned out of his mind on weed... or cross fading with alcohol. I knew it was different. I was right to call the police. I knew I needed to know how to personally use it now. I'm the only one at my second job who even knows how to identify opiate usage. Thank you for providing this.
OR! Or, the better tip is to just sit and watch, and maybe one day, these types of videos won't be needed because everyone that's addicted to these types of drugs will be gone. Just saying. It's not our fault that this person is in the position they put themselves in. I've seen plenty of people blame their living, their childhood, their whatever it is that they blame so they don't have to take accountability for their drug use. If this is so readily available, then why the fuxk isn't insulin. Most of my family have needed insulin from diabetes, and most of them live healthy lives, and exercise.
Shouldn't you administer first before trying to make a phone call seconds count your going to let someone die by talking to 911 asking you whats your name address and phone number your calling from then they will tell you not to let them have anything to eat or drink lock pets up and call back if there situation worsens wouldn't it make more sense just to give them the narcan and then call 911 you have to make sense when making these videos screw the phone call until you administer the narcan
in our Narcan training we were told to call 911 with our phone on speaker while going to get the Narcan. Calling 911 first ensures that EMS is on their way immediately.
I saw a guy collapse at a festival a few years ago. Immediate CPR didn’t help and he was turning blue. Then someone burst out of the crowd with Narcan and gave him the nasal spray. He popped up within seconds. It was mind blowing and I always carry it with me meow.
Actually...if they use narcan on you and you dont need it. The damage is very bad. Shocks your whole nervous system...its like a 50/ 50 chance you are ever the same mentally. I find it odd that the info on this stuff on here is so little...they are leaving out the real side affects
Just last week I watched a man who overdose on drugs and the paramedics used 3 narcan nasal spray on him and was still not responding to it... They figured he was a goner but decided to try a 4th narcan and it brought him back to life, thank god! He was pissed off that his drug high was gone even though his life was about to end... Crazy shit.
That’s so sad that he got mad, not because he got mad but because we know he will likely end up in the same situation and Gods grace can only be for those willing to change
I have 2 in my car just in case. Make sure you check the expiration date regularly. Check your local library they often have some for free to give out.
Narcan (Naloxone) is available for free to anyone upon request in most pharmacies (I say "most" because I don't know the laws in every province) in Canada. I don't use drugs, but carry Narcan everywhere I go, even on my belt at work.
I hope some pharmacies in the US do this too, the pharmacy at my job doesnt seem to because in the waiting room theres a display of narcan boxes for like 40 bucks
We always advise people to call 911 while they are going to get the Narcan. Put the phone on speaker (if possible). EMS personnel needs to be on their way immediately.
Tip from a medic- put patients into the recovery position TOWARDS you, not away. Not only is it easier, but you have access to their airways should they vomit or otherwise. Grab the furthest knee from behind (or pant leg) as well as the wrist, shoulder or shirtsleeve. Pull towards you, letting the patient rest mostly on their side with the knee you grabbed bent and pointed towards you. Place one or both of the victims hands underneath their chin or head, the goal being to be stable and keep their mouth facing in a direction in which if they were to vomit, they will not aspirate it. Please, don't be shy to ask a friend to lay limp on the floor for a few minutes so that you can practice this maneuver. I have unfortunately had to use this on both of my parents, a couple of friends and strangers. You may have just saved a life.
@@RealVisium I see why someone might teach that, largely because it is a joke thing on TV. I don't stand or kneel directly in front of a sick person who is upright, because if they sneeze, cough, spit or vomit, I could inhale/aspirate their fluids. In an upright position, the chances of patient aspiration is extremely low. This is not the case if the patient is prone. Patient risk just increased exponentially and my risk drastically decreased. Aspiration is a major complication to a first responder because it isn't something you can really treat or solve on your own; the patient now NEEDS a medical facility and their airway is in jeopardy. My priority is my patient and direct, constant and immediate access to their airway. I can wash my pants later. You never know how many you save, but you will remember every last one you ever lose.
After the expiration date on the container, it can still be of use if it's all you have, it may not be as potent though, so 2 doses might be required, at least that's what I've seen
This should be available for free at every pharmacy , school , etc in existence. You should be able to get it regardless of age or id. Too bad our administration and big pharma could care less.
UNA VEZ ADMINISTRADO EL AREBATO NO SE VA EN SU TOTALIDAD. ES POSIBLE QUE CUANDO EL EFECTO DEL MEDICAMENTO VAYA DISMINUYENDO LA PERSONA VA RECUPERANDO LOS EFECTOS DE LO QUE SEA QUE SE METIÓ. UNA VES YO DE CURIOSO ME PUSE A JUGAR CON EL SUPIESTO FRASCO DE NARKAN DE PRACTICA OSEA NO TENÍA MED. PERO EL QUE YO AGARRË FUÉ EL REAL Y YO QUE TENIA UNA NOTA 🥸 ASQUEROZA 🥰🤦🤬😂 Y EL NARCAN ME LA QUITÓ Y YO LLORANDO COMO UNA NIÑITA Y COMO EN 5 MINUTOS LA NOTITA FUÉ REGRESANDO Y YO YESSSSSSssss. Y LO APUNTÉ EN LA LISTA DE COSAS NO DEBO HASER. Y ES USAR NARCAN SI NO ES EXTRICTAME NESESARIO!!! 🧐
It is important to note that these Overdoses are primarily caused by unknowingly taking fentanyl tampered pills or heroin. The person usually doesn’t know that they have ingested it. As fentanyl is a VERY powerful opioid, it often requires more than 1 dose of narcan to reverse. The more you can get your hands on, the better. And always ALWAYS call 911 as narcan will wear off before the remaining fentanyl in the body does.
How about stop doing drugs and then expecting someone else to fix your problem. Have some discipline, self control and accountability for your actions. You’re not a victim.
@@blacknatsu6623wtf are you talking about . This person is in recovery on medication to treat an actual medical condition. The narcan isn't for him necessarily- you can't friggin narcan yourself if you overdose. But it's for you to have around ... you never know when someone around you might need help. Keeping narcan on hand is a regular responsible thing to do.
@@blacknatsu6623what a weird response. you sound very personally triggered in response to this man who is very clearly talking about taking accountability for himself and his choices ... Like you suggested that he should 🤔 strange it would somehow upset you so much
Tip: please don't tell 911 it's an overdose. Just say someone is not breathing and unconscious. Administer the narcan, possible chest compressions and lie them on their side until paramedics come. Once they are there then tell them it's a possible overdose and tell them u gave them narcan
In a real life situation, nobody comes to in 2 or 3 minutes and what I do not like about these instructions is that it does not tell you to do mouth to mouth. In all reality, they are going brain dead while you're waiting for the narcan to work, which usually takes 5 minutes. My rules to using it and I have saved many life's, is to one, set a timer right when you begin. Two, give one does of narcan. Three, hold there nose closed for at least thirty seconds and give them a few breaths, mouth to mouth. When you do this you will see the color come back into them for a second and go back away, so give them like two or three breaths every thirty seconds, but four and in between the breaths roll them on their side, they may puke and you don't want them to come back to choking to death on vomit. If and when they don't come back in 5 minutes then give another narcan. And remember, when they wake up they wake up in fight or flight so reassure them they are ok, don't drill them on how you feel about the situation, just let them know they are ok, they overdosed, just relax, because 100% of the time the first thing they wanna do is stand and they will fall right over, so keep them from doing this. Never lost one person that was with me in 15 years of being a heroin addict. But if you keep giving them dose after dose every minute, they could die from shock of severe w/d. But if they didn't come back within ten and paramedics aren't there yet, I would start giving them in twos.
@@karryeasterly8764 I'd rather have them swinging on me than brain dead. You gotta remember they're going brain dead more and more every second their brain is deprived from oxygen. Rescue breaths are a must.
You should make a video too, that we can share. Then we can that everywhere too. 15 years here clean and sober mostly on Subutex. Keep up the great work
