Methoxyflurane in early analgesic therapy by ski patrol members on Swiss ski slopes – an observational cohort study
The administration of methoxyflurane by trained ski patrol members is a safe and effective option for early pain management in ski slope injuries. Methoxyflurane could thus represent a useful bridging measure, enabling the ski patrol to relieve moderate to severe pain until professional rescue services arrive. However, it does not seem ideal for lower leg injuries.
