Reversing Opioid Overdoses: Naloxone and How it Works

The opioid epidemic has turned into a crisis and its devastating consequences have affected the lives of millions of people. Naloxone is a lifesaving drug used to help those experiencing an opioid overdose. In this video, we show you how to use it. We also explore what opioids are, why they are addictive, how they escalated into a crisis, and available resources. The video then examines why the Covid-19 pandemic was like gasoline on the already burning fire of the opioid epidemic. It is important to note that we are not doctors. Please make sure to consult and refer to your physician for any questions. This video was made by McMaster University students Mikayla Robinson, Elmira Noohpisheh, Ken Yu, and Rojina Sadeghi-Javid in collaboration with the Demystifying Medicine McMaster Program. The naloxone demonstration was filmed in Centre for Simulation-based learning at McMaster University.
