What is a recommended action regarding BLS Narcan administration?

The recommended action regarding BLS Narcan administration is to not exceed 1ml per nare. This guideline is important for ensuring safe and effective delivery of the medication. Narcan (naloxone) is typically administered intranasally for the reversal of opioid overdoses, and limiting the amount to 1ml per nare helps to maximize absorption while minimizing the risk of adverse effects or complications that could arise from using too much at once.

Administering too much in one nare could lead to suboptimal absorption due to the way the nasal mucosa can only handle a certain volume effectively. Furthermore, exceeding this volume could lead to wasted medication, as excess could run out of the nasal passage instead of being absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore, adhering to this volume limit is crucial for ensuring that the Narcan achieves its desired therapeutic effect.
