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.

Interventions

  • Drug: Sufentanil
    • intranasal administration of Sufentanil Forte 0,5mcg/kg as first dose and 0,3mcg/kg as titration doses

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • No Intervention: control
    • classic analgetic protocol
  • Experimental: intervention
    • intranasal Sufentanil

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • change in pain score
    • Time Frame: 15-20 minutes after first administration of Sufentanil
    • 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)

Secondary Measures

  • change in pain score
    • Time Frame: 60 minutes after first administration of Sufentanil
    • 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)
