Reports suggest that Madonna was discovered unresponsive, and the people who found her had to give her a NARCAN injection. NARCAN injections are typically used as an emergency treatment to counter the dangerous effects of a suspected overdose. However, they can also be used to reverse acute septic shock, a condition that Madonna is said to have experienced.
From RadarOnline:
The injection, commonly held in medical treatment kits of the rich and famous, is considered useful to increase blood pressure in the management of septic shock, a life-threatening condition that happens when blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level.
There is nothing at all to suggest the hitmaker needed NARCAN for the ill effects of any drug use.
A spokesperson for Madonna had no comment.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the Material Girl singer, 64, was intubated for at least one night at a New York hospital before having the tube removed. The official explanation has been that a serious bacterial infection put her in intensive care.
She had spent days hooked up to a ventilator while her family was told to "expect the worst."
While Madonna is now alert and is surrounded by family and friends while recovering at home, new details about the medical drama have come to light.
Good grief, what Madonna went through sounds like no joke.
I really think she should take a step back and think twice about going on this huge tour she's been so determined to do. I mean, isn't that exactly what Michael Jackson was getting ready for right before he passed away?
And it's scary to think that Madonna came so close to facing the same fate...
