Thank you Jane for connecting me to the wonderful NARCAN in-service. I learned a ton and this is part of my “de-stigmatizing” efforts. We should know first aid, CPR, Defib, Narcan…
So my question is about NARCAN delivery…
From todays paper… 8 27 2021 # Florida Girl, 1, Dies of Cocaine and Fentanyl Intoxication
How would you provide Narcan to this child? Is there any guidance? Is a half “puff” an option? I don’t know but I’d like to…

Thanks again- that was a super informative and helpful evening. :green_heart::green_heart::green_heart:

Thanks for the question @Thinkstet - let me check and get back to you!
From what I understand, narcan is not harmful but when it comes to children it’s definitely worth confirming.
Will provide an update soon!
