In this podcast, we will look at the benefit and utility of Methoxyflurane, more commonly known as Penthrox. Penthrox is a volatile, self-administered inhaled analgesic indicated for short-term pain relief. Penthrox is a portable, lightweight, non-invasive inhaler for self-administration of the Methoxyflurane vapour. Penthrox provides analgesia when inhaled at low concentrations giving analgesic therapeutic doses, but can also reduce and mitigate even severe pain yet has a short half-life. We will examine its use and limitations within the expedition environment and how and when it can be optimally used as either a sole adjunctive pain relief agent or as part of a larger pain relief strategy. We also get Will's reflections from use in practice and where and when Penthrox is useful.
