Oxycodone 4 mg
Fentanyl 20 mcg

ADDITIONAL CONVERSIONS:
Hydrocodone PO: morphine PO = 1:1
Dilaudid IV: morphine IV = 1: 7 (ie 1 mg IV Dilaudid = 7 mg IV morphine)
Morphine IV: Dilaudid IV = 1: 0.14 (ie 1 mg IV morphine = 0.14 mg IV Dilaudid)
Dilaudid PO: morphine PO = 1: 4 (ie 1 mg PO Dilaudid = 4 mg PO morphine)
Morphine PO: Dilaudid PO = 1: 0.25 (ie 1 mg PO morphine = 0.25 mg PO Dilaudid)

COMMON MED USE AT RUSH:


Norco 5 (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) = Morphine PO 5 mg = Morphine IV 1.67 mg
Norco 10 (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) = Morphine PO 10 mg = Morphine IV 3.33 mg
MSIR 15 mg (15 mg PO morphine) = Morphine IV 5 mg = 3 doses of Norco 5/325 mg PO at once
