Erik D. Barton,Christopher B. Colwell,Timothy R. Wolfe,Dave Fosnocht,Craig Gravitz,Tamara Bryan,William W Dunn,Jeff Benson,Jeff Bailey +8 more
TL;DR: i.n. naloxone is a novel alternative method for drug administration in high-risk patients in the prehospital setting with good overall effectiveness and the use of this route is further discussed in relation to efficacy of treatment and minimizing the risk of blood-borne exposures to EMS personnel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intranasal administration of naloxone by paramedics.
TL;DR: Intranasal naloxone may provide a safe, rapid, effective way to manage suspected opioid overdoses in the field and should be considered as an initial therapy for suspected opioid abusers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saul D. Levine,Christopher B. Colwell,Peter T. Pons,Craig Gravitz,Jason S. Haukoos,Kevin E. McVaney +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that paramedics have very limited ability to predict whether transported patients require admission and the level of required care.
