Trauma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Determination of Analgesic Equipotent Doses of Inhaled Metoxyflurane vs. Intravenous Fentanyl Using Cold Pressor Test (CPT) in Volunteers: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Crossover Study.
The aim of this study is to determinate the equipotent doses of inhaled metoxyflurane vs. intravenous fentanyl.
Traumatized patients frequently experience pain prehospital due to the fear of adverse
cardiovascular effects (e.g. hypotension) and respiration depression of opioid treatment,
leading to insufficient analgesia. Therefore, there is of interest to investigate other
analgesics that do not have these adverse effects.
In Norway, methoxyflurane has been approved for the emergency relief of moderate to severe
trauma pain in conscious adult patients. Metoxyflurane (Penthrox®) do not have these adverse
effects (hypotension and respiration depression). It is easy to administrate via an
inhalator, and is therefore suitable for use prehospital. This would possible help to treat
pain better prehospital.
There exists no data of how effective metoxyflurane is as an analgesic compared to an opioid.
The aim of this study is to determinate the equipotent doses of inhaled metoxyflurane vs.
intravenous fentanyl.
Ten healthy volunteers (18 - 64 years) will be enrolled in a randomized, double blind,
placebo-controlled, crossover study using a standard experimental pain model: CPT- Cold
pressor test (ice water). Our group has used this experimental pain model in earlier studies
and a crossover study is suitable to compare different drugs.
Possible side effects will be recorded for both metoxyflurane and fentanyl: sedation,
dizziness, itching, nausea and vomiting. Respiration frequency and non-invasive blood
pressure will be recorded every as possible low blood pressure or respiration depression can
occur.
The aim of this study is to determinate equipotent doses of inhaled metoxyflurane vs.
intravenous fentanyl. We have chosen to compare with fentanyl (the comparator) because it is
a well-known drug in clinical practice for acute pain treatment. In addition, both drugs have
a fast onset (minutes) and the analgesic effect last for approximately the same time interval
(20-30 min). Therefore, they are comparable in a clinical setting.
There exists no exact data of equipotent doses between metoxyflurane and fentanyl, only
retrospective clinical data. One retrospective study compared intranasal fentanyl with
inhaled metoxyflurane for visceral pain prehospital in 1024 patients. The initial dose of
fentanyl was 0.018 mg and the total mean dose at hospital arrival was 0.036 mg. In the
metoxyflurane group 51.9% received 3 ml, a second dose was used in 41.9% and 6.2% received a
third dose. Metoxyflurane produced the greatest initial pain scores reduction, and intranasal
fentanyl provided greater pain reduction by hospital arrival.
From these data we have chosen two doses of fentanyl to be compared with 3 ml Penthrox: 0.025
mg and 0.05 mg intravenous. Both drugs will also be compared to placebo (NaCl 9 mg/ml).
