Characteristics of Patients Experiencing Opioid Overdose and Eligibility for Prehospital Treatment with Buprenorphine

One-in-three EMS patients with suspected opioid use disorder were ineligible for treatment with buprenorphine due to altered mental status. The second largest group consisted of patients who were eligible but not offered buprenorphine, highlighting potential gaps in paramedic training, logistical challenges in field administrations, and other factors that warrant further exploration.

Abstract

One-in-three EMS patients with suspected opioid use disorder were ineligible for treatment with buprenorphine due to altered mental status. The second largest group consisted of patients who were eligible but not offered buprenorphine, highlighting potential gaps in paramedic training, logistical challenges in field administrations, and other factors that warrant further exploration.
