Dilaudid's the trade name and hydromorphone is the generic name. 1mg of dilaudid is equivalent to about 10mg of morphine, or 125mg of demerol. Crazy stuff. The worst part is right when it makes it to the brain and makes the whole room spin a few times. But, I learned to "roll with it" and just close my eyes for a few seconds. It's ok stuff, but we carry even better stuff on the helicopter - fentanyl.
0.1mg fentanyl = all the above. Really good stuff. Too bad I never got any.
