When administering naloxone via the intranasal route, EMTs should aim to deliver one spray (4 mg) into one nostril. If the patient does not respond after 2-3 minutes, a second dose may be administered in the same manner. It's important to monitor the patient's airway and breathing, as naloxone can precipitate withdrawal symptoms in opioid-dependent individuals. Always follow local protocols and guidelines when administering naloxone.
