Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
Patients over the age of 18 who came to our emergency department with blunt chest trauma were divided into three groups. Groups was created from patients who were given lidocaine 10% spray (local), i.v. 100 mg of tramadol and i.v. fentanyl 50 mcg. A total of 48 patients, each of whom were 16, were included in the study. Numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores of the patients at baseline, 15th, 30th and 60th minutes were compared. These scores and the amount of falls at follow-up were analyzed comparatively between the 3 groups.
