What medications should be administered for patients with NSTE-ACS with continuing ischemic pain?
Patients with NSTE-ACS with continuing ischemic pain should receive sublingual nitroglycerin (0.3 mg) every 5 minutes and then assess the need for IV nitroglycerin. Additionally, IV morphine sulfate may also be reasonable for continued ischemic chest pain despite maximally tolerated anti-ischemic medications. Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and cholesterol management should also be considered.
