Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
In this study, patients presenting to the emergency department with post-traumatic pain of 7 or more on the visual analog pain scale, since less than 24 hours, in the limbs, spine or thorax are randomized in a control arm or an interventional arm.
The patients in the control arm will receive the institution's classical analgetic protocol level 1 and 3, the patients in the intervention arm are given classical level 1 medication as well as intranasal Sufentanil.
Pain is then measured using the Visual Analogue Pail Scale at 15-20 minutes and at 60 minutes. At both these time points, adverse effects and vitals are also assessed.

pain score is measured using an analogue visual pain reporting scale (0-10, 0 for no pain at all and 10 for worst pain imaginable)
Other Outcome Measures
- number of participants with adverse effects [at 15-20 and at 60 minutes]
subjects are questioned and examined for known adverse effects of Sufentanil
