Someone needs help

Call 911. Tell the dispatcher your exact location and what you can see. Put your phone on speaker and follow their instructions. Send someone to guide responders in, if possible.

Blue or gray lips, gurgling or unusual snoring in someone who will not wake can indicate a breathing emergency. Do not wait for every warning sign.

If unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR as directed by the dispatcher; use an AED if available and follow its prompts. Breathing support matters in overdose. Provide rescue breaths if trained and directed.

If unconscious but breathing normally, place the person on their side and continue watching their breathing. Stay until medical help arrives.

Give available naloxone according to the package instructions. If normal breathing does not return, another dose may be needed after 2–3 minutes. Do not delay or interrupt CPR or AED use to give naloxone. Continue dispatcher-directed breathing support. Naloxone does not reverse all drugs, and emergency care is still needed after someone wakes.

For severe overheating with confusion, move to a cooler place if safe, remove excess clothing and use cool wet cloths while help is coming. Do not force fluids into someone confused, seizing or unconscious.

During a seizure, clear hazards and cushion the head. Do not restrain the person or put anything in their mouth. Do not give food or drink until fully alert.
