Sublingual Sufentanil Tablet for Analgesia in Emergency Medical Services and Search and Rescue Agencies
Our study demonstrated that SST administration led to a significant reduction in pain scores and exhibited a favorable safety profile regarding vital signs, including SBP, HR, respiratory rate (RR), and O<sub>2</sub> saturation. These findings support the utilization of SST for pain management in the prehospital setting, particularly in austere environments where traditional routes of administration may be impractical.
