Inhaled methoxyflurane, newly licensed in Europe for acute trauma pain in adults, has limited evidence of effectiveness in the pre-hospital setting. We aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness and costs of methoxyflurane delivered when administered by ambulance staff compared with usual analgesic practice (UAP) for adults with trauma.
