简要总结
- Chest pain is the main symptom of acute myocardial infarction. A precocious analgesic treatment is justified by patient's comfort and unfavorable hemodynamic consequences of persistent pain. Morphine is the painkiller historically prescribed in this situation. Morphine has never been evaluated vs placebo and is strongly suspected to decrease oral anti-platelet efficacy. Then, morphine has been downgraded, in the 2017 European guidelines (European Society of Cardiology - ESC) from I to IIa. To find alternative treatment is required.
- The methoxyflurane is an anesthetic gas used in emergency setting for about twenty years. It is now commonly used in France. Its analgesic properties have been demonstrated. Its main advantages are its maneuverability as it is delivered by inhalation, i.e. without (before) any venous access and self-administered by the patient. Tolerability is good. It could be an excellent alternative to morphine.

研究组 & 干预措施
Morphine
Morphine intra-venous infusion: 3 mg bolus repeated every 5 minutes until obtaining VAS ≤ 3
干预措施: Morphine (Drug)
Methoxyflurane
Patient's self-administration of methoxyflurane (Penthrox®) with dedicated inhaler Initial dose: 3 mL (1 vial). A second 3 mL dose can be used.
干预措施: Methoxyflurane (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Demonstrate that methoxyflurane self-administered by the patient is at least as efficient in achieving pain relief that morphine
时间窗: at 30 minutes
To demonstrate that methoxyflurane self-administered by the patient suffering chest pain related to an acute myocardial infarction is at least as efficient in achieving pain relief that morphine with better tolerance (achieving pain relief, i.e. pain intensity score on visual analogic scale (VAS) ≤ 3 at 30 minutes)
次要结局
- Compare the impact of the treatments on heart rate(at 30 minutes)
- Compare the impact of the treatments on arterial blood pressure(at 30 minutes)
- Compare the impact of the treatments on pulse oximetry(at 30 minutes)
- Compare the impact of the treatments on ECG(at 30 minutes)
- Compare the impact of the treatments on pain relief(From randomization until the first documented pain relief, assessed up to 30 minutes)
- Compare tolerance of the treatments on respiratory depression(at 30 minutes)
- Compare tolerance of the treatments on sedation(at 30 minutes)
- Compare tolerance of the treatments on dizziness, pruritus, nausea, vomiting, headache(at 30 minutes)
- Compare the impact of the treatments on pain relief(From randomization until the first documented pain divided by two, assessed up to 30 minutes)
