Abstract
The role of Nursing professionals in clinical safety projects, as well as nursing prescription, have been essential in making nurses aware of the need of more extensive training, updating and management in the field of pharmacology. The following series of articles will present an overview of Emergency pharmacology, focusing on the most commonly used and using as a reference drugs that are prescribed and used by the SUMMA 112, Medical Emergency Service of the Community of Madrid, where the authors have been conducting their professional activity for the past two decades. The methodology has consisted in performing a general review of the bibliography, reaching consensus on dosage and administration route, and finally in creating a summarising table, the “RaNa Table”, which aims to be a useful tool for fast consultation on the administration of drugs in out-of-hospital medical emergencies.
