Efficacy and safety of intravenous sufentanil administration in low-severity acute trauma as a competence of paramedics: a follow-up observational study

Intravenous sufentanil administered independently by trained paramedics in adult patients with lower severity trauma demonstrated safety and effectiveness comparable to administration following remote physician consultation, along with improved documentation and increased use of multimodal analgesia. Although this was a monocentric study, these observations may contribute to ongoing discussions about expanding paramedic competencies in opioid analgesia within the Czech prehospital emergency system.
