Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Tuesday, 05/06/14 and Wednesday, 05/07/14. ****SAFETY ALERT**** Statewide there has been a spike in overdose cases seen in emergency rooms from people smoking the synthetic cannabinoid commonly referred to as K2. In Austin, approximately 30 people this past week have been treated for symptoms of drug overdose. Side effects of its use include; blackouts, seizures and bouts of violence. Medical officials are concerned that the rising ambient temperatures may exacerbate the effects on those under the influence of this drug. ****Recovery Position A.K.A. The Bacchus Maneuver**** Yesterday, one of the Campus Watch entries mentioned a passed out intoxicated subject had been moved into the “Recovery Position.” Regretfully, I failed to describe just what that means. The recovery position is used for a passed out individual who is at risk of their airway closing or being blocked. Essentially, the person is placed partially on their side with their head tilted slightly back to keep the airway open and their mouth tilted downward. Their arms and legs are placed in a position to help keep them from rolling forward or backward.
