What UK pre-hospital providers use intranasal analgesia? A survey of its current and planned use by air ambulance services in the United Kingdom

چکیده
Background Intranasal analgesia (INA) has been used for many years as an alternative method of delivering pain relief in-hospital, especially in paediatric populations [1,2]. London’s Air Ambulance (LAA) is considering introducing and INA standard operating procedure (SOP) to complement their current methods of delivering analgesia pre-hospital. Little data exists on the current use of pre-hospital INA in the United Kingdom (UK). We aimed to determine what prehospital providers in the United Kingdom currently use or plan to introduce INA and what agents they are using.
