00:01 So let’s wrap this up. Opioids are drugs that act on the opioid receptors mu and kappa. 00:06 They can act as agonist, partial-agonist or antagonist. 00:11 The classic triad, that just means three signs of opioid overdose are comma, respiratory depression and pinpoint pupils. 00:19 Opioid overdose is treated with naloxone as an opioid antagonist. 00:25 We can give naloxone nose spray, IV, or IM. 00:30 Naloxone only reverses opioids not any other sedative or stimulant type drugs. 00:36 If the person hasn’t taken opioids, receiving naloxone is essentially harmless but it also won’t fix the CNS depressant effect. 00:44 Thank you for watching our video today.
The lecture Opioid Abuse: In a Nutshell (Nursing) by Prof. Lawes is from the course Central Nervous System (CNS) Medications (Nursing).
What occurs if naloxone is given to a client who overdosed on benzodiazepines?
