Résumé
Oligoanalgesia remains a major component of pain management in emergency medicine. Rapid, easy-to-use methods are therefore preferred. Does the introduction of methoxyflurane into the therapeutic arsenal improve pain management? Method: before/after study of the introduction of methoxyflurane in the Montpellier emergency department. Comparison of EN in conscious adult patients with moderate to severe trauma-related pain. Overall assessment of oligoanalgesia and its causes in the department. Results: 67 patients were included and analyzed in phase 1 and 57 in phase 2. The change in pain at the 1-hour reassessment was 1.25 points in phase 1 and 2.8 points in phase in phase 2. This difference was significant, p=0.015. Conclusion: the inclusion of methoxyflurane in the therapeutic arsenal of the emergency room leads to a greater reduction in moderate to severe traumatic pain.
