Opioids: Contributing to Both Health and Death, 2nd Edition 2
Release Date: 4/8/2024
About the Course:
Opioids are pain relievers accessed through prescriptions. When someone takes too many opioids or reaches a tolerance threshold, an overdose occurs. With the increase of opioid deaths in the U.S., it is imperative for the death-care industry to recognize and respect the hidden dangers. The funeral arrangements, visitation, and funeral can be complicated because of the circumstances surrounding the death. Opioids can affect the vessels and tissues of the body and cause embalming issues for embalmers. Funeral directors and embalmers need to be aware of safety procedures before embalming and to incorporate strict personal protective equipment protocols. There are different embalming techniques for embalming an individual who was using opioids at the time of death as well as those who have overdosed on opioids. This course will also describe strategies to help combat overdoses in the funeral home.
