The incidence of opioid-associated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests continues to rise.  Current guidelines for the resuscitation of patients with OHCA advise the clinician to consider the administration of naloxone of patients with suspected opioid-associated OHCA.  In this podcast, we review a recenlty published study in JAMA that evaluated the association of naloxone with patient outcomes in opioid-associated OHCAs.
