Respuesta :

I would say if the person is not breathing/responsive, CPR would be the first option. Waiting on a defibrillator would prolong the problem. Naloxone will be used, but if the individual isn’t even responsive, keeping their heart pumping is the most important step.

The rescuer's next step will be to provide high-quality CPR. This is because

CPR will help to keep the heart beating and pump blood to other parts of the

body which makes the individual stay alive before other emergency services

are carried out.

Waiting for a defibrillator can lead to death of the individual as the arrival

time isn't certain. Administering drugs such as  naloxone can come after the

individual has been resuscitated.

Determination of the tyoe of opioid used isn't suitable in such a critical

emergency such as this.
