Narcan

[Minuteman]

patients who are revived with Narcan can be confused, combative, and even violent

This guy's channel is a hoot, would recommend.

A medical unit or ALS ambulance has the requisite drugs available to control a patient’s OD reversal from narcan. Simply possessing the nasal shot does not have that. The number of ODs that have been brought back to life by LE, for example, only to now have an angry and highly combative person on your hands, necessitating various levels of use of force, has been an occurrence. Solving one issue can create another larger issue, and one that’s difficult enough to handle on the ground, much less in a tube up in the flight levels.

This one’s gonna become one of those “without delay, divert” situations, then.

Absolutely. Any use of narcan should become a nearest suitable divert if not near the destination, for not only the medical situation occurring, but also possible unintended ramifications of having treated it.

Have you ever seen someone after Narcan has been administered ? They become highly combative, argumentative & possibly violent because you just took their high away.
