State registered Paramedics CAN give Morphine to
all those over age 12 as per JRCALC guidelines.
Nubain is available for under 12 yo. Not
ideal but only drug SRParas are licensed to use. MCA will not allow its use by
SRParas in under 12's - YET! We are trying to have this limitation removed
asap.
Much work being done to try and have Intranasal
diamorphine or Fentanyl lollys in the future for the kids.
Entonox works well when used properly!
