I am looking for the article for lasix but it is not approved yet through our hospice. Morphine in the nebulizer along with saline works great!! It works for pain when it is given po. Do you know of any evidence based resources on nebulized morphine?

I read it somewhere and we are going to try to use it at our facility. Do you use morphine in the nebulizer?

yes it would definitely help.. is anyone a hospcie nurse? What do you know about nebulized lasix? any evidence fot that?

I don't know if this is normal or not but it does not sound safe... Do you have safe staffing ratios in your facility? Do you feel like you were able to take care of people when you were so tired? Pat

I am currently a hospcie nurse and work in an inpatient setting. I have recently heard that lasix is beneficial to use in the nebulizer... does anyone use it now? also, we use morphine in the nebulizer and it is really effective.. do you use it in your practice?

i recently saw an article on this and will try to find it for you... we do not use it at my hospcie but i think it would be beneficial. do you use morphine in the nebulizer.. that works great..Pat

I have been a hospice nurse for 10 years. These feeling that you are having will pass as you get used to the job. You will soon feel a sense of relief when one passes due to the suffering that they have had. You will never forget the look in their eyes but remember that towards the end of their life , they are '' looking '' but are really not there. You are helping them when no one else can and making them comfortable so that they can have a '' good'' death.. I hope this helps..Pat
