Zofran

Is Zofran an NSAID? And can it be administered to a patient with a GSW (gun shot wound) to the abdomen??

Why would it be administered to someone with a GSW?

No, it is not an NSAID. I imagine someone with a GSW has bigger problems than nausea...

[Emergent, RN]

A GSW pt would often get Zofran. We give it to offset possible nausea from narcotics. We also don't like them barfing all over the CT machine.

Omg best post ever. How in the world so you do that? No I don't mean the basic Google search the OP could have done. How did you do that little video and make the link? That's brilliant!

He was shot with a 22, patient was stable. He had vomited and was dry heaving afterwards

I was wondering if it was contraindicated for a patient was a gsw to abdomen. Someone said it was an NSAID

Do you know what Zofran is, and for what it is used?
