Avg transport 30min to 50 min and ont he NTG intial pressure was 160s/90s so i went with a trial we also had fluids running her pressure stayed steady and the NTG did drop her pain to a 5/10 for a while before it returned.

We only carry 20mg of morphine and 100 mcg of fent

For CP note above and traumatic injury up to 10 then need to call in. We carry Fent but online order only and we usually get denied.

for ischemic cp protocol says i start at 2mg every 5-15min based on BP 100 systolic

Surprisingly after all that her pressure on arrival was 130s/80s initially we had 170s systolic

gave ASA, Zofran 4mg, NTG x3 and 10mg morphine
