There are very simplistic courses out there that will just show you how to do the injection. BUT we feel it’s vital that you have a more complete understanding of opiate overdose and overall patient management. Given that these patients are actually dying from Hypoxia (lack of oxygen), the most important part of managing an opiate overdose is actually the airway and breathing management in conjunction with the use of Naloxone. This and more is what you will learn in this course!
