I'm learning to admin pain relief as a paramedic student. at what pain score (out of 10) is in fentanyl inadequate and should turn to iv morphine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fentanyl is more : Potent than morphine and has a faster onset. It also clears faster. Properly used, they both treat pain well, but the morphine will last longer. Improperly used, they can both cause respiratory depression.
