| Popis: | In a study using patients as their own controls, 0.35 per cent v/v methoxyflurane in air, self-administered from a Cardiff inhaler and inhaled intermittently, has afforded better analgesia than 0.5 per cent v/v trichloroethylene similarly administered. Methoxyflurane has been shown to improve the patient's "mood" during burns dressings. A further study into the effects of two inhalers producing approximately 0.3 per cent v/v methoxyflurane and approximately 0.5 per cent v/v methoxyflurane showed little difference in the analgesia afforded, but both were equally safe. Methoxyflurane is not a satisfactory analgesic for burns dressings in children aged 5 years and under. |
