Naloxone

April 28, 2017

    Naloxone Administration by EMT’s & EMR’s


Kansas HB 2217 authorizes the administration of Naloxone to patients believed to be at risk of
experiencing an opioid overdose by trained first responders, and provides for liability protection of
those who administer the medication in good faith and with reasonable care. Kansas Administrative
Regulations 109-3-3 and 109-3-4 authorize Kansas certified Emergency Medical Technicians and
Emergency Medical Responders to administer Naloxone to suspected opioid overdose patients via Auto
injector, Intramuscular (IM), or Intranasal (IN) administration routes provided the Kansas EMT and EMR
have received appropriate training and are authorized to perform these activities by a licensed physician
medical director.

The following link provides the approved medication lists for EMT & EMR:

EMT medication list – 109-3-4 approved by reference.pdf

EMR medication list – 109-3-3 approved by reference.pdf

The administration of Naloxone by the Kansas certified Paramedic or Advanced Emergency Medical
Technician via the Intravenous (IV), Intraosseous (IO), Intramuscular (IM), Intranasal (IN), or by
Autoinjector remains an authorized activity through existing statutes and regulations.
