00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:11.219
- Phone Ringing -

00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:13.010
- Jefferson County 911

00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:17.230
- There's a gentleman in the bathroom

00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:25.240
- Is the door locked or ?
- Yes and we don't have a key

00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.350
- Responding to West Washington street

00:00:28.351 --> 00:00:34.860
- Help is on the way
- Okay

00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:38.070
- I have an EMS assist at three twenty eight West

00:00:38.071 --> 00:00:38.980
Washington Street

00:00:38.981 --> 00:00:45.710
- 10-4
You can change this to an overdose if you haven't already

00:01:08.711 --> 00:01:10.710
- How many do you want?
- Just give me one

00:01:12.711 --> 00:01:14.030
- hmm, I wonder what's going on here?

00:01:14.031 --> 00:01:17.930
Go ahead and light'em up

00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:25.150
- He's going out the window clear the room

00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:30.150
- We've got a gun

00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:34.560
- Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that's is becoming more

00:01:34.561 --> 00:01:37.190
and more prevalent in the drug world It's actually more potent

00:01:37.191 --> 00:01:38.560
than heroin or morphine

00:01:39.020 --> 00:01:41.080
and even some of its analogs such

00:01:41.081 --> 00:01:45.000
as carfentanil are much more potent than that

00:01:49.220 --> 00:01:52.960
Fentanyl has been seen in powder, tablet, capsule,

00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:56.570
rock, nasal spray
The forms are always changing

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.100
What we've seen in the last few years with fentanyl

00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:04.860
is a rise in the number of deaths associated with its use

00:02:19.630 --> 00:02:22.740
- First responders are increasingly likely to encounter fentanyl

00:02:22.741 --> 00:02:25.660
in the line of duty
We want to make sure that they have

00:02:25.661 --> 00:02:27.260
the facts to keep them safe

00:02:27.349 --> 00:02:30.410
- I got this on my hands!

00:02:31.290 --> 00:02:34.650
- One myth is that just touching any amount of fentanyl

00:02:34.651 --> 00:02:38.490
is likely to cause severe illness or injury or even death

00:02:38.650 --> 00:02:41.840
and and that's just not true

00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:43.810
Incidental skin contact with fentanyl

00:02:44.010 --> 00:02:44.880
- Hey man what's going on?

00:02:45.490 --> 00:02:49.050
- Fentanyl can be washed off with soap and water

00:02:49.881 --> 00:02:51.000
- Wash your hand's you'll be okay

00:02:51.001 --> 00:02:52.794
- You think?
- Yes!

00:02:52.795 --> 00:02:52.999
- you don't want to

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.729
use hand sanitizer because it can actually

00:02:54.730 --> 00:02:56.600
potentially increase the absorption of fentanyl

00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:00.530
exposure can come in many ways through skin contact

00:03:01.110 --> 00:03:03.040
through the mucous membranes of your mouth,

00:03:03.170 --> 00:03:08.510
your eyes, or the most significant risk is from aerosolized

00:03:08.511 --> 00:03:10.460
airborne powder
Another myth is that PP or personal protective

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.460
Another myth is that PP or personal protective

00:03:14.461 --> 00:03:16.540
equipment won't protect you from fentanyl

00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:18.070
and the truth is that in

00:03:18.220 --> 00:03:21.870
most circumstances it will offer a significant level of protection

00:03:22.100 --> 00:03:26.310
Gloves will protect from the skin exposures, skin contamination

00:03:26.311 --> 00:03:30.400
of your hands
A respirator mask will help will prevent the inhalation

00:03:30.401 --> 00:03:32.930
of an airborne powder
Wearing eye protection

00:03:33.070 --> 00:03:35.320
can prevent the exposure through the

00:03:35.530 --> 00:03:37.510
through the mucous membranes of your eyes

00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:38.720
- Can you check her breathing

00:03:39.230 --> 00:03:42.000
- Alright
Ma'am are you alright?

00:03:43.050 --> 00:03:43.790
Can you hear me?

00:03:44.630 --> 00:03:46.480
- Should someone become exposed to fentanyl

00:03:46.660 --> 00:03:49.240
some of the signs or symptoms that you would see would be

00:03:49.241 --> 00:03:53.270
drowsiness or on responsiveness, slow or no breathing

00:03:53.630 --> 00:03:56.190
and then constricted or pinpoint pupils

00:03:56.490 --> 00:03:58.050
Those are the signs or symptoms you want to look

00:03:58.051 --> 00:04:01.580
for in yourself or in your partner or in someone that you're

00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:02.754
responding to

00:04:02.755 --> 00:04:07.110
- She's not breathing better call EMS

00:04:07.111 --> 00:04:10.880
- Nine sixty hotel sixteen

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.540
Can you get EMS on the way to 301 Jasper

00:04:15.541 --> 00:04:19.150
street room 250?

00:04:19.170 --> 00:04:25.190
- 10-4, sending EMS to 301 Jasper street room 250
- They’re on their way

00:04:25.191 --> 00:04:27.400
- If you think you've been exposed to a substance that could

00:04:27.401 --> 00:04:29.720
be fentanyl you want to take that very seriously

00:04:29.870 --> 00:04:33.130
You want to alert a supervisor or a buddy tell them what you

00:04:33.131 --> 00:04:34.530
think is going on and the

00:04:34.531 --> 00:04:35.920
first step, is to prevent any

00:04:35.921 --> 00:04:37.160
further contamination

00:04:37.270 --> 00:04:41.080
The second step, is to not touch your eyes

00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:44.080
your nose or mouth
That way you'll prevent

00:04:44.081 --> 00:04:45.310
further exposure

00:04:46.220 --> 00:04:49.590
The third step is to simply wash the area

00:04:49.700 --> 00:04:50.700
with soap and water

00:04:51.570 --> 00:04:55.310
And finally if you think your clothes or some of your protective

00:04:55.311 --> 00:04:57.630
materials have been exposed or contaminated

00:04:58.030 --> 00:05:01.070
you want to remove those through

00:05:01.071 --> 00:05:03.529
your standard decontamination protocols

00:05:03.530 --> 00:05:06.680
More and more first responders are being provided with Naloxone

00:05:06.681 --> 00:05:08.520
for use in the line of duty

00:05:09.610 --> 00:05:11.540
You want to administer the Naloxone

00:05:11.690 --> 00:05:13.310
per your established protocols

00:05:14.710 --> 00:05:16.510
Naloxone is a very safe medication

00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:18.140
and it can very rapidly

00:05:18.141 --> 00:05:20.360
and effectively reverse the effects of fentanyl

00:05:20.361 --> 00:05:21.579
and it can be life saving

00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:22.875
- How are you feeling?

00:05:22.940 --> 00:05:23.660
- Okay

00:05:23.661 --> 00:05:25.076
- Having any trouble breathing or anything?

00:05:25.077 --> 00:05:26.260
- No

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.260
I did get a little on my skin accidentally I washed off

00:05:29.261 --> 00:05:30.590
with soap and water then gloved up

00:05:30.591 --> 00:05:32.568
- Okay let me your pulse real quick

00:05:33.230 --> 00:05:34.530
- The threat of fentanyl is real

00:05:34.760 --> 00:05:37.550
but we're showing a multi layered defense that will keep

00:05:37.551 --> 00:05:40.230
first responders safe while they do their job

00:05:40.340 --> 00:05:42.940
to keep the rest of us safe
