The ability and recognition of a Narcotic Overdose along with initiating emergency treatment will be the difference could be the difference for life and death of your patient. You and your Staff must know how to respond as well as treat with the appropriate emergency equipment and maneuvers in order to sustain life! You and Your Staff MUST know how to properly use Naloxone!
More than 106,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2021, including illicit drugs and prescription opioids (NIH).
A dental patient that has a Narcotic Overdose in your office will require proper preparation of YOU and YOUR Staff before the actual event happens! You must have the correct patient rescue protocols in place in order to save the life of your patient having a Narcotic Overdose. Don’t take this preparation lightly but rather seriously and this goes for all staff in your dental office. This is a TEAM problem not an individual one. Everyone has a role to play during narcotic overdose and it must be carried out correctly.
