When someone presents with a decreased level of consciousness without an identifiable cause,
you must consider the possibility of ingestion of or exposure to a toxic agent. Because of her
presentation, she is treated preemptively with naloxone, an opioid antagonist. Atropine was given
to reverse the bradycardia. D50W is given to an unconscious patient because of the possibility of
diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia.

D50W is used against hypoglycemia, atropine is an anticholinergic, and naloxone is an opioid antagonist.
• D50W is the solution of 50% dextrose in water, which is generally given to patients to counteract the drug that may induce hypoglycemia.
• Atropine is an anticholinergic, which prevents parasympathetic nerve impulses and is generally used to speed up the SA node and is used against bradycardia. It is given to counteract peripheral dilation.
• Narcan or naloxone is an opioid antagonist, which temporarily reverses the influences the opioids, that is, coma and respiratory depression.
Thus, this combination is generally given to the unconscious individual to reverse the effects of opioids.
