Morphine for CHF / pulmonary edema
Adult dosing has a median of 2 mg across 9 published protocols, with the middle half between 2 and 2.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.
Adultmg

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
