“Difficulties in locating the appropriate tab for cardiac arrest (where opioid toxicity is the likely cause) on the JRCALC app for Naloxone meant it was missed and not applied”

“Inability of attending paramedics to comply with the guidelines for Respiratory arrest/depression due to other competing tasks and therefore certainly a complete inability to comply with the guidelines for cardiac arrest (where opioid toxicity is the likely cause) making them potentially unrealistic”

“WMAS ambulances only carry a box of 10 Naloxone 400mg vials per ambulance which means that one ambulance attending a situation such as [the deceased]'s would be insufficient to deal with the circumstances, as would two ambulances. It would mean that three ambulances are required to comply with cardiac arrest (where opioid toxicity is the likely cause)”
