Prazosin Oral Tablet

1-Dose and administration of prazosin: 30 μg/kg/dose of prazosin will be delivered orally every 6 hours 4 doses, in adults we shouldn't exceed 1 mg per dose. Prazosin will be delivered using a nasogastric tube while securing the patient's airway in the event of vomiting or unconsciousness. Every 30 minutes for the first three hours, every hour for the following six, and then every four hours until improvement, blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, and oxygen saturation will be measured. When pain is the only symptom, prophylaxis shouldn't be given. To avoid the first-dose phenomenon, the patient should remain in a laying position for around 3 hours (even while the case is being examined) (Shoreit et al., 2019).
