Nasal Naloxone (Narcan)

Our institution is evaluating nasal naloxone availability.

1) Do you stock nasal naloxone in the inpatient setting? If so, in what inpatient locations and at what PAR levels?
2) Do you stock nasal naloxone in the ambulatory setting? If so, what locations and at what PAR levels?
3) How do you handle visitors (or other non-patients) that need to have nasal naloxone administered? Who responds to these patients and administers nasal naloxone?

Thank you in advance for your help. Responses will be compiled and shared.

Have a great weekend,
Tanya
