Trainer demonstrates naloxone use; Oldham to offer public trainings
Summary
Officials demonstrated how to use the naloxone included in the one-box kits and said the county will offer public overdose prevention education and naloxone training at a free event called 'Summer Vibes Saving Lives.'
At the event, officials demonstrated the kit contents and how to respond to a suspected overdose. Jeff Bridal explained the kit includes two doses of Narcan and PPE and that the boxes include instructions for people who do not know how to use the device. "When people leave these doors, they go to their families, and families don't know what to do," Bridal said, adding that the kit is intended to give family members clear guidance.
A trainer walked attendees through step one of responding to an unresponsive person—check responsiveness, call 911, and follow the kit instructions; the trainer emphasized checking breathing and calling emergency services immediately. Officials also said the county will host a free event, "Summer Vibes Saving Lives," offering overdose prevention education and naloxone training to the public.
