Risks of Opioid Halo
Supplemental oxygen greater than 2.0 L/min will add oxygen to the blood. This may delay
•
the detection of OIRD.
Opioids can stop breathing immediately. In these cases, the Opioid Halo may not alarm soon
•
fast enough. Make sure that anyone providing supervision is aware of signs of opioid
overdose and understands how to help.
Because there are skin-contacting components, there is a risk of skin irritation, pressure
•
injury, and general discomfort while a sensor or cuff is applied to a user. Periodically check
the areas where the user's skin contacts with the sensor or blood pressure cuff to prevent
potential issues.
