Summary
The goal is to determine whether fentanyl and morphine have similar effects in reducing
aspirin's effect upon platelets in emergency department patients with chest discomfort.
Morphine has been shown to worsen outcomes in heart attack patients due to reduction of oral
anti-platelet agent effectiveness and so many providers have switches to using fentanyl.
However, it is largely unknown whether fentanyl has similar effects.
