MAD DOGMorphine – causes vasodilation resulting in decreased BPAminophylline – relaxes airways to make breathing easierDigitalis – improve heart function in pulmonary edema
Diuretics (Lasix) – pull excess �uid offOxygen – improve oxygenationGases (Blood Gases ABGs) – asses respiratory status
Moles - malignant assessment
