Just wondering how you guys use MONA, as paramedics around here that I've talked to have differing opinions on how to use this combination of medications. I found that the way I was originally taught to use MONA in medic school (by my old school firefighter teachers) is much different that what I practice now.
M - Do you give morphine if nitro relieved the chest pain?
O - Do you give oxygen in chest pain / ACS if the 02 saturation is within normal ranges? What if the sat. is 98-100%? If not at what point will you give it?
N - If you have a patient who appears to be having an MI according to their ekg but does not complain of chest pain, will you still give nitro? If someone is complaining of chest pain but it is relieved after one or two nitro, do you still give another?
A - Not much to ask here.
