Field Pain Management
Time for a new thread.......
What opioids (narcotics with a politically correct term) are now being carried around the world and what is the teaching in terms of dose, dosing interval, max. doses, etc?
I have my own opinions that may go against SOP but a discussion on pain management in the field can be educational none-the-less.
