Detailed Assessment: Document Glasgow Coma Scale. Check odor on breath. Look for Medical Alert tags, needle tracks, and evidence of trauma. If trauma noted, consider C-spine precautions. 2. Observe environment closely for signs of potential overdose. If suspected overdose, see overdose protocols. 3. If applicable, print a rhythm strip from the cardiac monitor for ER staff. 4. Narcan may be administered prior to Dextrose. Narcan 0.4 mg IV/IO or IM, prn (some agonist/antagonist narcotic overdoses may require higher doses of Narcan, i.e. methadone). Narcan via intranasal (IN) 0.8 mg - 2 mg (split the total dose between each nostril). If no response may repeat IN dose x 1. Pediatric dose: < 20 kg 0.01 mg/kg, > 20 kg 0.4 mg initial dose repeat, prn. Constricted pupils may suggest narcotic overdose. Be prepared to restrain combative patient..

Be aware that ischemic cardiac pain can present as abdominal or back pain, especially in females & older patients. 2. Nitroglycerin SL sublingual is contraindicated if systolic BP < 90 mmhg. If the patient has taken Viagra or Levitra within 24 hours, or Cialis within 48 hours do not administer Nitroglycerin. If the patient meets criteria administer 1 dose sublingual (under the tongue). Max of 3 doses total given at one dose at a time of 0.4 mg per dose every 3-5 minutes for chest pressure/pain. Recheck BP prior to each dose. 3. Aspirin is contraindicated in cases of known hypersensitivity. Aspirin may be withheld if the patient has definitely taken 324 mg of Aspirin within the last 24 hours.

5 CPAP For patients with moderate to severe respiratory distress or progressive symptoms 1 Apply oxygen as indicated Prepare patient for CPAP - inform them of procedure and sensation of CPAP Place CPAP mask and seucre to patient Possible Causes: COPD CHF Pneumonia Aspiration Asthma If adjustable PEEP, start setting at 5 cm H2O. Increase in 2.5 cm H2O increments as needed for oxygenation 2 Assess lung sounds and vitals after placement Administer medications as indicated Monitor for side effects of positive pressure ventilation 4 - Give in-line nebulized medications if indicated 3 - If giving oral/sublingual medications, try to administer prior to CPAP placement to prevent aspiration. Otherwise, remove mask to give needed medications (i.e. NTG, ASA). Allow them to be completely swallowed or dissolved. Reassess breath sounds/vital signs frequently (slowing of heart rate is a typical sign of improvement) For progressive respiratory failure, consider calling ALS 5 tify receiving facility that the patient is arriving on CPAP Contraindications: Unconscious Vomiting Hypotension (SBP<90 mmhg) Trauma Suspected Pneumothorax Inability to seal mask Patient unable to cooperate (this can often be mitigated with effective coaching) 11/18/15 1. Use CPAP early or if initial round of therapy is ineffective. For example, if arriving to a COPD call and the patient looks poor at the initial evaluation (i.e. hypoxia, increased work of breathing) move quickly to CPAP with nebulized therapies. 2. Do not increase PEEP if systolic BP is < 90 mmhg. 3. For patients with severe asthma prioritize administration of continuous albuterol. CPAP can be a useful adjunct if they are having ineffective respiratory effort or to assist in medication delivery if no improvement from albuterol treatments alone. 4. Positive pressure ventilation can cause hypotension by decreasing venous return. For dehydrated patients who have pneumonia or COPD, a small fluid bolus may be necessary to avoid hypotension once CPAP is started. Watch for gastric distension and vomiting. Remove mask if vomiting occurs. 5. If patient continues to deteriorate despite CPAP, remove CPAP and assist ventilations with 100% O2 via BVM as needed. Prepare for advance airway placement.
