Narcan Programs and more...

500,000 Americans died of opioid overdoses between 2000 and 2015, and current estimates show that 91 people die each day from overdosing. In 2014, almost 2 million Americans abused or were dependent on prescription opioids, and these record levels continue to rise. Fentanyl and carfentanil, two potent opiates that are thousands of times stronger than heroin, are increasingly common and have become major problems in terms of LEO exposure and civilian overdose. Police officers in Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, and other states have had dangerous and potentially fatal reactions after incidental contact with minuscule amounts of these drugs.  

Opiates kill because they cause people to stop breathing. In the past, officers were limited in their ability to intervene and could provide little more than mouth-to-mouth or bag-valve-mask ventilation to treat opioid induced respiratory depression. Narcan (Naloxone) reverses the effect of the opioid overdose and allows for return of spontaneous respiration. Police are often first on scene to overdose calls, so many departments are now issuing Narcan to officers to protect them against the effects of accidental exposure and to treat overdose patients directly. Because Narcan can only be ordered under a physician's license, medical oversight is crucial.

Each year in the US, an estimated 250,000-400,000 people suffer sudden cardiac arrest. Early defibrillation has been shown to be the best treatment for sudden cardiac arrest, and the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AED's) has been shown to increase survival. 

Many police departments and public safety departments carry AED's in their vehicles. AED's are now widely available and can be seen in public spaces such as airports, shopping malls, and government buildings. Government regulations mandate that any program that provides and maintains AED's have medical oversight to review all cases where an AED was applied and to make recommendations for quality improvement and ongoing training. 

Our company will work with your organization to coordinate medical oversight, program management, data collection, case review, quality improvement, and quality assurance.

Our services are available to police and sheriff departments, campus public safety, commercial industry, and other organizations.
