Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study analyzes the analgesic efficacy and adverse events of nitrous oxide 70% combined with basic analgetics compared to nitrous oxide 70% with fentanyl intranasal for analgosedation for short and painful procedures in children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Nitrous oxide 70% (N20 70%) combined with 30% oxygen meets many criteria of an ideal pain medication for procedural analgosedation in children. At the emergency department of the Children's Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland, N20 70% is regularly used for short and painful orthopaedic procedures, mostly for reduction of dislocated forearm or finger fractures. The analgesic efficacy of N20 70% still remains controversial. Therefore, all children who are eligible for N20 70% receive additionally either fentanyl or placebo intranasal and then their behavior, level of sedation and adverse events are measured during the painful procedure. The hypothesis is that a combination of N20 70% and fentanyl intranasal is not significant better than N20 70% combined with basic analgetics.
