Buprenorphine is as effective as morphine in managing fracture pain in the emergency department, according to the results of a double-blind, double-dummy randomized controlled trial.
Adverse effects seen within the first 30 minutes following administration were nausea (14% for those receiving buprenorphine versus 12% for those receiving morphine, P=0.73), dizziness (14% versus 22%, P=0.32), and hypotension (4% versus 18%, P=0.02), the authors wrote online in the Annals of Emergency Medicine.
