2 The OverdoseFreePA website is brought to you by the Overdose Prevention Coalition, a collaborative between: The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) The Single County Authorities (SCAs) of: Allegheny County Blair County Bucks County Butler County Dauphin County Delaware County Westmoreland County The Allegheny County Medical Examiner s Office The Program Evaluation Research Unit, University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy The project is supported by a generous grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
3 What is Overdose? Overdose means having too much of a drug or alcohol, or a mix of drugs and/or alcohol for your body to safely handle. DDAP, 2014
4 What is Overdose? (cont d) Overdose can result from: Legal substances (alcohol, Tylenol, prescription pain medications, anxiety/ depression medications). Illegal substances (illegally obtained prescription drugs, heroin, cocaine). Any combination of drugs or alcohol. International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD), 2014
5 Causes of Overdose Almost any drug can cause an overdose in large enough quantities. Overdose deaths have doubled in the U.S. over the past two decades, largely because of prescription opioids. Physicians are the leading source of prescription opioids for users with the highest risk of adverse events. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2014; Jones, 2014
6 What is an Opioid? Opioids are typically prescribed to help manage pain. Vicodin, Codeine, OxyContin, Percocet, Opana, Methadone, and Fentanyl are examples of these medications. Some illicit drugs, like heroin, are also opioids. Project Lifeline, 2010
7 Symptoms of Overdose Depending on the drug(s) involved, an overdose victim can exhibit different symptoms. It s important to be able to recognize the symptoms of overdose. Time is a factor. Prescription pills are involved in about 60% of overdose deaths. IOAD, 2014; Jones, 2013
8 Call 911! If you suspect that a person might be experiencing an overdose, CALL 911! Overdose can sometimes appear as though someone is just passing out. However, if someone is unresponsive, he or she must receive medical assistance immediately. IOAD, 2014
9 IOAD, 2014 Call 911! (cont d) In addition to unconsciousness, other red flags include: Seizures Severe headaches Chest pain Difficulty breathing Agitation, extreme paranoia, and/or confusion
10 It s Good to Know Different drugs have different overdose symptoms. IOAD, 2014
11 Signs of Alcohol Overdose: Confusion Difficulty remaining conscious Slow breathing or gaps in breathing Clammy skin Vomiting Seizures Slow heart rate Dulled responses Extremely low body temperature DDAP, 2014
12 Signs of Amphetamine/Other Stimulant ( Speed ) Overdose: Amphetamine-induced psychosis (paranoia, hallucinations and/or delusions) Overheating Dehydration High blood pressure Seizures DDAP, 2014
13 Signs of Opioid (Heroin, Narcotic Pain Medication, Etc.) or Depressant (Xanax, Valium, Etc.) Overdose: Slow and shallow breathing Very sleepy and unable to talk Unconscious Blue lips or fingertips Snoring or gurgling sounds DDAP, 2014
14 Rescue Breathing If a person has stopped breathing, perform rescue breathing immediately. Brain cells can begin to die within five minutes of oxygen deprivation. This can cause coma, seizures, and brain death. Rescue breathing can prevent brain death. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2014
15 Rescue Breathing: The Basics Perform rescue breathing by pinching the person s nose. Cover the person s mouth with your mouth (use a face shield and latex gloves, if available). Begin by administering two quick breaths. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), 2012
16 Rescue Breathing: The Basics (cont d) Then, administer a strong breath every 5 seconds. You should be able to see the person s chest (not stomach) rise and fall. ASA, 2012
17 Naloxone (Narcan ) The Overdose Antidote can save a person s life during opioid overdose by reversing the overdose in the person s brain. Photo: Walley, 2013
18 Naloxone (Narcan ) (cont d) Naloxone must be obtained through a prescription and filled at a pharmacy. Naloxone will only work for an opioid overdose it won t work for any other type of drug overdose. Walley, 2013
19 Naloxone (Narcan ) (cont d) If a person is not experiencing overdose, Naloxone is harmless. It can be administered via an injection or as a nasal spray. Walley, 2013
20 Naloxone (Narcan ): The Basics Acts within 2 to 8 minutes. Lasts 30 to 90 minutes, overdose may return. It s good to have two vials, and re-administer if necessary. May cause withdrawal symptoms. May be repeated. Call 911 medical attention is still necessary. Walley, 2013
21 Overdose Prevention Review Recognize the symptoms of an overdose. Call 911 immediately! Act quickly to administer rescue breathing. Administer Naloxone (Narcan ) if it s available. DDAP, 2014
