Introduction:

Nyxoid is a common brand of naloxone nasal spray used for opioid overdose emergencies.

Step-by-Step Process

Preparation and Administration:

• Remove the outer packaging of Nyxoid and keep the nasal sprays close by.
• Ensure the person is lying on their back to open their airway using the Head-tilt Chin-lift procedure.
• Check the nostrils for any obstructions.
• Hold the nasal spray nozzle between your first two fingers with your thumb on the plunger.
• Gently insert the nozzle into one nostril, taking care not to insert too deeply.
• Administer the dose by pressing down on the plunger until you hear and feel a click.
• Note the exact time of administration and which nostril was used.

Additional Dose and Recovery Position

Handling Further Administration:

• If another dose is needed, use the other nostril if possible.
• Record the time of each administration.
• After administering, place the person in the recovery position while waiting for the naloxone to take effect.
