I work in a pacu.and am interested in how other pacu staff give pain medicine,what's used the most, if you dilute the drug, and method of administration,and how frequent. We are working on a new policy hospital wide, but I am interested in what other hospitals do in pacu. Thanks for any response.

Anything else you just call anesthesiologist for. Hope this helps.

Morphine and percocet are like water (if no allergies of course...) 4mg and 2 tabs respectively are common...also we use PCA's quite often, toradol 30.... some dilute, some do not... we have new tubing which requires flushing but even without we always flush if not on pump
