PCA Medication Concentrations

Does your institution use one concentration or multiple concentrations of morphine, hydromorphone, and/or fentanyl for PCA?

For those organizations who have been able to utilize only one concentration per medication for PCA, what concentrations do you use for:

  • Morphine -
  • Hydromorphone -
  • Fentanyl -

For those that utilize multiple concentrations, have you tried to limit to one concentration and if so, what have been barriers to implementing?
