Vape painkilker

[PerkyOchrePeer]

Does anyone use puffer paint relied. I'd not heard of it but was offered it abroad. I refused. They were surprised I had never used it in UK

No but I saw an Australian TV show many years ago where they gave it to a little boy with a dislocated shoulder.

I think it was quite strong and seemed to numb the pain almost immediately.

I was in australia when ut was offered to ne I googled a d Google said its available i. The UK abd sobe other countries but banned in USA

Jts called penthrox and can cause liver damage so USA banned it

I broke a bone in my pelvis 8 years ago a d could not get in the stretcher to go to hospital. If tbhs I hater pain relief was widely used in the UK they would have offered it to me. I was given morphine insfead

have seen similar on 24 hours in ane a uk program

Was this bondi rescue? Ive seen them used loads on there

Penthrox is used in this country for some things - it's not available everywhere and it's carefully protocolised, but can be quite useful.

can't edit...but clarifying ... it's a drug that's used for procedural sedation, not a 'puffer pain relief' you can get for home use if that's what OPs suggesting/asking. There is a risk of liver complications (particularly with repeated use) and other serious side effects, hence the need for careful protocols etc.

No i was i when I was offered it, I did ask whether it was a sedative, and they said, no, it's a painkiller.ler

Yes I’ve used this in hospital (it’s called the green whistle). I have an adverse reaction to it though and my blood pressure drops very low afterwards.
Don’t try to google this and buy online, it has some serious side effects.

Why would i want to buy it online. If you teas my thread I said I refused to take it when. Paramedics in australia offered it to me

I asked seceral people at work if they had heard of this device and they all said no. The paramedics in australia were wrong to persuade me to use it, including calling me stubborn

no idea what your question/concern is. It's a well described drug that is safe when it's used appropriately. Using it to support moving someone with a painful injury would be well within it's indications. Morphine was also an acceptable option (possibly more likely to cause side effects though). There are easily googleable UK protocols for using penthrox if you want to find out more.

My daughter used this when she broke her wrist badly, and it worked beautifully whilst there paramedics straightened it out to put in a support.

They were just trying to help you and reduce your pain, as they would for any other patient.

Of course you were within your rights to refuse it, but they were also within their rights to call you stubborn. You were stubborn.

Why were you under the care of paramedics? Had you had an accident?

Yes I had a sciatica flare up which is better now
