I just cleared up from a call where my pt refused the 2nd round of nitro after the first round did not effect pain. The pt had a change in morphology on the shock room table and a stemi alert was called. I have read conflicting reasearch on the effectiveness of nitro via google scholar. I was once reprimanded for not continuing nitro on a pt that got asa, 1 round nitro, heparin, brelenta and 100 of fentanyl.
Do you guys continue to give nitro if it is not effective in decreasing pain?
