Assuming it was one bag with the morphine that ran from 17:10 to 22:45, I would code the following.
96365, 96366x5
17:10-18:10=1hr
18:10-19:10=1hr
19:10-20:10=1hr
20:10-21:10=1hr
21:10-22:10=1hr
22:10-22:45=35min, since it ran for "more than 30min" you can add 96366 again.
Hope this helps!

I am sorry but I thought that 96366 was for a different drug infusion and 96367 was for the same.

96366 is for each additional hour (not different drug) whereas the 96367 is for a sequential infusion, which means the succession, or following, of one thing or event after another .
The 96374/75/76 is where the same and/or different drug descriptions come into play. It is all in the wording and they really love to confuse you with injections & infusions.
