MONA (Morphine, Oxygen, Nitrates, Aspirin) Protocol

The MONA protocol is a standard treatment approach for suspected heart attack symptoms. It involves administering Morphine to relieve pain, providing Oxygen to ensure the heart and tissues get enough oxygen, giving Nitrates to widen blood vessels and improve blood flow, and giving Aspirin to thin the blood and prevent clot formation. Together, these steps aim to reduce heart damage, alleviate symptoms, and improve the patient’s chances of recovery while awaiting further medical care.
