Precipitated Withdrawal Induced by Prehospital Naloxone Administration. Prehospital emergency care, 1-7.More infoBuprenorphine is becoming a key component of prehospital management of opioid use disorder. It is unclear how many prehospital patients might be eligible for buprenorphine induction, as traditional induction requires that patients first have some degree of opioid withdrawal. The primary aim of this study was to quantify how many patients developed precipitated withdrawal after receiving prehospital naloxone for suspected overdose, as they could be candidates for prehospital buprenorphine. The secondary objective was to identify associated factors contributing to precipitated withdrawal, including dose of naloxone administered, and identify rate of subsequent transport.
