Usually the big advantage is it is not as controlled as morphine in many

countries, hence it is available when MS is not. And unfortunatly the rest

of the world has not woken up to the benefits of penthrane, so I would not

expect to see it used much in Ozzieland.

Thanks Jim

That's what I thought! But just wanted to see if anyone thought there

were any clinical advantages of nubain over morphine as opposed to the

administrative ones. Penthrane is used a lot down under however I would

never consider it a replacement for IV pain relief. Great for extremely

short term pain relief?

Hi All

Just to shoot down that slur on my home land both Methoxyflurane and Nubain

are both in use commonly in Australia in different areas. Both are used in

the ADF mainly Army and Navy. But both are also used in the hospital system

A & E and OT (OR for the Yanks & Pomies.)

Methoxy is used by Several Ambulance services in Australia as well.

Australia stopped being a provincial colony around 104 years ago I think.

Well, MS is really the gold standard. Accept no substitute, ask for it by

name. That being said, there is an interesting web page from the Oxford

pain internet site called which lists the Oxford league table of analgesics

in acute pain.

My only experience with Nubain is when my wife got it while in labor!

(Beating against head)

What I meant to say was I wouldn't expect to see Nubain used as much in

Australia since you have penthrane (Methoxyflurane). It's the rest of the

world that hasn't woken up to what is going on down under that is the

problem.

I stand corrected on the Nubain.
