Better be a strong fort then. They live to cut, smash, and break things.

I love when people say military grade weapons....because the military uses only the highest of quality and lethality when it comes to guns and ammo....

Just park an out of service vehicle next to the fort. Problem solved.
When the OD wakes up from a wee bit of Narcan, freaks out, and rears that foot back to plant it square in your chest.

Do they have EMS checkpoints along the way that allow you to rehydrate?

That's why I prefer to give it via the slowest route available. That or let the younger guys do the mutton bustin'...
Well see, the supervisor was bored and had started an EJ for me. I figured since she was very cyanotic, 0.5mg would be that perfect happy medium. It was.... until it wasnt. So insert a ride that was definitely longer than 8 seconds by yours truly.That's why I prefer to give it via the slowest route available. That or let the younger guys do the mutton bustin'...

That's another reason to go very, very slowly with naloxone... so you can stop when breathing improves. I've never given that stuff fast by IVP no matter how big the dose for that very reason you just found...
I'm usually good at getting that dose right. I've been losing my touch here lately. **** it, I'm going IM next time.

If you do change to the IM route, stick with 0.5 mg. Then work on getting at least a saline lock in place. That way if you get no response to the IM dose, you can give very small amounts by IVP until breathing improves. Just please, not matter how much you dislike a particular ER, don't slam the balance in when you go through the ambulance bay doors... your nicely snoozing patient might suddenly wake up angrier than a hornet and is still YOUR patient.
Just let the ED MD order more naloxone... I just love it when they order 2mg IVP without realizing that it might be a good idea to include "titrate to effect" because I just know there'll be some new nurse (or a very literal one) that follows the order exactly as written...

The county just recently changed the protocol to titrate narcan.
I never have nor will I. I have a pretty good relationship with various ED staff. I might bring them **** shows with very little to offer, but that one thing I won't do.
