Reviving the Discussion: Naloxone's Impact on Cardiac Arrest Survival

  • Summary

  • The administration of Naloxone for patients in cardiac arrest in the out-of-hospital setting has rarely been advised in the United States. Despite this, many EMS agencies allow for its administration and include the opioid antagonist in their cardiac arrest protocols. This contrast leaves the frontline EMT and paramedic with little direction on whether the drug provides a benefit to the patient suffering out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Join us this month for the Prehospital Care Research Forum's journal club as we revive the topic and review a recent publication that compares out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients who received Naloxone with those who did not.
