Safety and emergency

LMNOP

Lasix, Morphine, Nitrates, Oxygen, Position

An older memory aid associated with acute heart failure teaching. Like MONA, it is a name-shaped list rather than an order of operations.

Outdated as a description of practice, and for the same reason as MONA — the role of morphine in particular has been reconsidered. Vocabulary only.

What each letter stands for

  1. 1 Lasix (furosemide).
  2. 2 Morphine.
  3. 3 Nitrates.
  4. 4 Oxygen.
  5. 5 Position — upright.
