As usual, @RFDSDOC gives out good advice, literature and proves he is a guru. This time he looked at pre-hospital analgesia and trauma. Make sure to check out his page at: Prehospitalmed.com
Now back to the article on morphine and ketamine being better than morphine alone:
http://www.alfredicu.org.au/assets/Documents/Reserach-Docs/Full-Publications/Ketamine-AEM-2012.pdf
I routinely use this combination of morphine and ketamine for trauma pain control. I also liked that the article gave realistic advice on doses and titration.
Thanks for bringing this up @RFDSDOC!

I know I live in a small, damp cave but I just discovered one of my favorite books has an iTunes app! Even better is that is a GREAT app! The app has good search-ability, all the material in the text version and some really nice color pictures for procedures, color plates and parasite diagrams. The cost of $9.99 is very good, as well. I now have this in a print version, kindle version and now on my iPad and iPod touch. Fair warning…I will be asking questions from this book!
