PACU orders

Our PACU (recovery room) orders are in dire need of revision. Could you please share a copy/screen shot of yours? We are struggling with the order of use of opioids... when to switch from fentanyl to a longer acting opioid(hydromorphone/ morphine)... max cumulative doses of each... Any help is appreciated!
