> 5. Police Officer Darious arrives to the scene of a suspected overdose where the victim is not responding. He administers Naloxone from his department provided kit. The victim is still not responding, but has a pulse. How long should Officer Darious wait to administer another dose of Naloxone if the victim does not respond after CPR?
> (A) Three to five minutes
> (B) Six to eight minutes
> (C) Three to five seconds
> (D) Ten to fifteen minutes
If the victim has a pulse, why is Officer Darious giving them CPR? He needs to follow directions better.
Guidelines were changed for laypeople a while back because it turned out continuous chest compressions moved enough air and was more impactful in the first few minutes.
The reasoning I heard was that more people are comfortable giving chest compressions than rescue breaths, and we wanted to encourage people to help even if they weren't comfortable with rescue breaths
> Available evidence strongly support the superiority of bystander compression-only CPR. Reasons for the best efficacy of chest compression-only CPR include a better willingness to start CPR by bystanders, the low quality of mouth-to-mouth ventilation and a detrimental effect of too long interruptions of chest compressions during ventilation.
People don't want to make out with a stranger, they don't do it very well, and pausing chest compressions detracts from it.
