Randomized Controlled TrialAcute pain management with intravenous 0.10 mg/kg vs. 0.15 mg/kg morphine sulfate in limb traumatized patients: a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial.
We aimed to compare pain relief and safety of two doses of morphine in adult emergency department (ED) patients with acute limb trauma pain. ⋯ Using two doses of morphine instead of one is a safe and effective method for pain reduction in isolated limb trauma. We recommend performing a second injection of 0.05 mg/kg morphine 30 minutes after the initial standard dose of 0.10 mg/kg to decrease pain in these patients.
