The treatment protocol for angina is morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerin, and aspirin. Morphine works to decrease pain and difficulty breathing, oxygen ensures that poorly oxygenated tissues receive the required oxygen, nitroglycerin is a potent vasodilator and aids in restoring oxygenation to tissues, aspirin helps to thin the blood and increase tissue perfusion.
