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.
