2 People Revived With Narcan in 2 Hours by Wantagh-Levittown Responders

First responders from the Wantagh-Levittown Volunteer Ambulance Corps revived two people with Narcan, the opioid overdose antidote, within a two hour span on Monday night.

WLVAC first responded to a call for an unconscious person suffering from a heroin overdose. They found the person pulseless, not breathing and cyanotic.

Responders then initiated CPR and quickly administered Narcan, which allowed the person’s vital signs to improve while he or she was transported to an area hospital. 

Two hours later, WLVAC responded to a call for another heroin overdose. Once responders administered Narcan, the patient began to improve.

Both patients were admitted to a local hospital where they were reported responsive and alert.
