Prehospital Analgesia in Adults Using Inhaled Methoxyflurane : A Feasibility Study

Pain is common and can contribute to both psychological and physiological effects if not treated. Currently primary care paramedics have limited selections within their pain management tool box. This contributes to inadequate pain management. Methoxyflurane is a safe, easy and effective choice in prehospital management of pain. The impact of this feasibility trial, will hope to inform the larger multi-centred trial and then support the implementation of out-of-hospital Canadian National Guidelines for prehospital pain control, enabling paramedics to provide rapid, effective prehospital pain relief to patients.
