[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naloxone is used to reverse intended or unintended effects of opioids, not just overdoses, such as during sedation. It’s not a big deal. [/quote] Agree. It doesn’t mean the hospital was negligent. Sometimes older people are especially sensitive to the effects of opioids. This is why they take vital signs frequently in the hospital and probably saw that his respirations became too depressed. This can happen even if the nurses didn’t make an error and gave the prescribed dose (which was within acceptable parameters). We don’t know what happened. All I am saying of giving narcan doesn’t necessarily mean anyone made an error[/quote] We can see here how drugging people is a crap shoot. They guess what might be the right drug, and then the right amount. How is this constant guessing game considered science?[/quote]
