The selection of drugs to include in the GP's bag depends on the diseases likely to be met, the shelf lifetime of the items as well as their costs, the accessibility of ambulance paramedic cover as well as the proximity of the nearest hospital.

PAIN For many adults in serious pain, a particular effective treatment is diamorphine (5 mg or 10 mg powdered in ampoules for reconstitution with water for injection) one.25 5mg by slow i.v. injection, especially if the patient is surprised or perhaps has peripheral vasoconstriction, or 5 10 mg intramuscularly or subcutaneously. For children in serious pain, i.v. diamorphine in the following doses is given: 1 to 3 months, 20 microgram / kg; 3 to 6 months. 50 microgram / kg, 6 to 12 months, 75 microgram / kg, over 12 months, 75 100 microgram / kg. Some Gps Navigation will likely not want to establish i.v. access in a young child and also, in such cases, a great alternative is morphine (5 mg / 5 mL solution) by mouth: under 1 year, 80microgram / kg; 1 to 12 years, 200 400microgram / kg. Opioids may result nausea as well as vomiting, and also respiratory depression. Management of these are covered in the sections on �Vomiting� as well as �Opioid o.d. (this page). The controlled drug status of diamorphine and also morphine signifies, of course, that they have to remain in a secured container, or perhaps a handbag that is locked, as well as in a protected (locked) space i.e. vehicle shoe or cupboard), as well as their use must be recorded in a controlled drugs register.
