These meds are given Mg/Kg of body weight. How do you almost overdose an infant if you can do basic math? You don’t need a computer to calculate dosages. Not to mention hopefully you would recall about what volume you give patients and go “why am I giving 2 vials to this patient? Something might be wrong here.”

Megagrams of drug per kilogram of body weight? It wasn't an overdose so much as a splattering when the first forklift of morphine was dropped on the patient.

And I am just as much of a smartass when people in tech talk about millibits of memory or millihertz radio frequencies.

not really on mg per weight because that doesn’t address tolerance to morphine
