Medications

General Guidelines

Never administer any form of medication to either yourself or someone else without consulting a medic and receiving permission to do so.

Medications

Morphine

Morphine is a pain-suppressant that stays in a patient's system for a very long time (30 minutes) and reaches maximum effect after 30 seconds. Morphine also lowers the patient's heart rate by up to -35 BPM. Due to these factors, morphine should be avoided when possible as they may cause complications in the case of future injuries. Only administer morphine if the patient is unable to fight with their current level of pain.

Epinephrine

Epinephrine is an alternate word for adrenaline and is used to raise a patient's pulse, often in response to morphine overdoses. Epinephrine also increases the spontaneous wake-up chance. Epinephrine raises the patient's pulse by upwards of +50 BPM over a period of 10 seconds and stays in the system for 2 minutes.

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is also pain-suppressant that stays in a patient's system for a very long time (30 minutes) and reaches maximum effect after 30 seconds. Only administer fentanyl if the patient is unable to fight with their current level of pain.
