Eestis suri eelmisel aastal
uimastite üledoosi tõttu
100 inimest. Aasta varem oli surmasid 113. Nitaseenidega seotud surmajuhtumeid oli 42. Narko surmajuhtumite arv Eestis hakkas kasvama 2019. aastal. 2022. aastal oli kasv väga järsk.

Nitaseenid on tugevad sünteetilised opioidid

tekitavad kiirelt tugeva joobe
. Nitaseenid ei reageeri ravile nii hästi kui fentanüül. Nitaseenid levivad peamiselt Balti riikides. Mujal Euroopas on neid vähem.

Eelmisel kevadel lisati politsei varustusse ravim naloksoon. See aitab opioidide üledoosi korral inimest elus hoida. Politsei ei kogu statistikat naloksooni kasutuse kohta.
Uuring näitab, et uimastite üledoosi ohvrite profiil on väga erinev. Keskmist tarvitajat pole olemas. Statistiliselt sureb enamik 30+ aastased mehed. Enamik on venekeelsed ja elavad Harjumaal. Surmajuhtumid on ka noorte ja üle 90-aastaste seas.
Mehi sureb rohkem, kuid naistel on suurem individuaalne risk. Eestis surevad sagedamini üle 30-aastased. Mujal Euroopas surevad rohkem alla 25-aastased.
Inimesed ei tea tihtipeale, mis aineid nad tarvitavad. Sageli arvatakse, et tarvitatakse heroiini, aga tegelikult on tegemist nitaseeniga. Inimestel on vaja rohkem teadmisi uimastite kohta.
Paljud surnud olid varem vanglas või uimastiravikliinikus. Pärast vanglat või ravi ei ole piisavalt abi. Inimesed peavad ise abi otsima, aga sageli ei jõua õigel ajal õigesse kohta.
Üllatav fakt on, et
surnute seas on ka üle 90-aastasi inimesi
. See tuleneb sellest, et mõned ravimid loetakse juriidiliselt narkootikumideks.

among the dead there are also people over 90
See uuring on Eestis ja maailmas ainulaadne. Uuring kasutas andmeid erinevatest registritest. Kokku on üledoosi tõttu surnud 332 inimest, kellest 262 on mehed.
In Estonia, 100 people died from drug overdoses last year. The year before, there were 113 deaths. There were 42 deaths related to nitazenes. The number of drug-related deaths in Estonia started to increase in 2019. In 2022, the increase was very sharp.
Nitazenes are strong synthetic opioids. They quickly cause a strong intoxication. Nitazenes do not respond to treatment as well as fentanyl. Nitazenes are mainly spread in the Baltic countries. There are fewer of them elsewhere in Europe.
Last spring, the police added the drug naloxone to their equipment. It helps keep people alive in case of an opioid overdose. The police do not collect statistics on the use of naloxone.
The study shows that the profile of drug overdose victims is very diverse. There is no average user. Statistically, most of the deceased are men over 30. Most are Russian-speaking and live in Harju County. There are also cases of deaths among young people and those over 90 years old.
More men die, but women have a higher individual risk. In Estonia, people over 30 die more frequently. In other parts of Europe, more people under 25 die.
People often do not know what substances they are using. It is often thought that heroin is being used, but in reality, it is nitazene. People need more knowledge about drugs.
Many of the deceased had previously been in prison or in a drug treatment clinic. After prison or treatment, there is not enough help. People have to seek help themselves, but often do not reach the right place at the right time.
A surprising fact is that among the deceased, there are also people over 90 years old. This is because some medications are legally classified as narcotics.
This study is unique in Estonia and worldwide. The study used data from various registers. In total, 332 people have died from overdoses, of whom 262 are men.
