Unveiling the 1-Year Mortality Risk Post Non-Fatal Opioid Overdose

A non-fatal opioid overdose is a huge opportunity for us, as acute healthcare providers, to provide therapy with buprenorphine, distribute naloxone and connect patients to treatment during the emergency department visit where a patient is treated for a non-fatal overdose.
Have you ever wondered what happens after someone survives an opioid overdose? In this episode of 'Addiction in Emergency Medicine and Acute Care', Dr. Casey Grover dives into a critical but often overlooked topic: the one-year mortality rate following a non-fatal opioid overdose. Drawing from the 2020 Annals of Emergency Medicine paper, Dr. Grover breaks down the study's findings, shedding light on the significant risks that persist even after an initial overdose is survived.
He explores how these findings can inform better treatment strategies in emergency settings. Dr. Grover discusses the importance of interventions like buprenorphine therapy, naloxone distribution, and connecting patients to long-term treatment options during their emergency department visit. This episode is a must-listen for healthcare professionals eager to understand the full scope of opioid overdose management and improve patient outcomes.
