International Overdose Awareness Day
August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day. Anesthesiologists can all play a part in saving lives beyond our role in the perioperative arena, leveraging our expertise in recognizing an opioid overdose, reacting appropriately, and administering naloxone. Please explore the REVIVEme initiative resources on opioid overdose, and share it with your patients, friends, and family. ASA has received a generous grant from Hikma Pharmaceuticals to host an event in Philadelphia with a school or community-based organization to train volunteers, students, teachers, and staff to recognize, respond, and reverse opioid-related overdoses. They will also be provided with reversal kits and training materials to share with others in their community. Stay tuned for more details on that important event.
