Morphine, oxygen, nitrates, and aspirin — collectively known as MONA — are no longer the preferred door prizes for chest pain patients entering the emergency cardiac care system. Of course, morphine and oxygen still have a limited role in acute coronary syndromes.Click to see full answer. Besides, what is Mona for chest pain?To the Editor: The mnemonic, MONA, which stands for morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerin, and aspirin, is used to recall the initial man- agement of patients with chest pain (ie, suspected acute cor- onary syndrome). However, in the era of evidenced-based medicine, a review of this mnemonic is needed (Fig. 1).Subsequently, question is, do you give aspirin or nitroglycerin first? Chew and swallow an aspirin, unless you are allergic to aspirin or have been told by your doctor never to take aspirin. Take nitroglycerin, if prescribed. If you think you’re having a heart attack and your doctor has previously prescribed nitroglycerin for you, take it as directed. Similarly one may ask, do you give oxygen for chest pain? Supplemental oxygen (O2) therapy in patients with chest pain has been a cornerstone in the treatment of suspected myocardial infarction (MI). More studies are needed in discussing hemodynamically unstable STEMI patients, as well as patients with non-STEMI, unstable angina and other emergency conditions.Can acute coronary syndrome be cured?Aspirin helps to prevent platelets from forming clots and helps to reduce the risk of a second heart attack by around 22 percent. With lifestyle changes and the right medication, it is possible to prevent acute coronary syndrome or to treat it and lead a normal life.
