卡芬塔尼尔是一种致命的合成类阿片,它正在推动埃德蒙顿的吸毒过量激增,促使加大了减少伤害的努力。 Carfentanil, a deadly synthetic opioid, is driving a surge in overdoses in Edmonton, prompting expanded harm reduction efforts.

卡芬塔尼尔(Carfentanil)是合成类阿片,其威力远远超过芬太尼,在Edmonton的非法药物供应中日益被发现,导致吸毒过量和死亡人数上升。 Carfentanil, a synthetic opioid vastly more potent than fentanyl, is increasingly detected in Edmonton’s illicit drug supply, fueling a rise in overdoses and fatalities. 卫生官员警告该药物往往与其他未被发现的物质混合,即使数量很小,也构成极端风险,导致呼吸系统衰竭和死亡。 Health officials warn the drug, often mixed with other substances undetected, poses extreme risks even in tiny amounts, leading to respiratory failure and death. 其效力使剂量过量逆转复杂化,在某些情况下需要多剂量的纳洛酮剂量。 Its potency complicates overdose reversal, requiring multiple naloxone doses in some cases. 当局正在扩大减少伤害的努力,包括纳洛酮的进入和受监督的消费场所,同时加剧供应链的中断。 Authorities are expanding harm reduction efforts, including naloxone access and supervised consumption sites, while intensifying supply chain disruptions. 尽管采取了这些措施,但药物供应的不可预测性继续对应对系统构成挑战,促使人们呼吁采取协调的区域行动,应对日益严重的危机。 Despite these measures, the unpredictable nature of the drug supply continues to challenge response systems, prompting calls for coordinated regional action to address the growing crisis.
