Morphine or fentanyl? Does splinting really reduce pain? Is ketamine the ideal prehospital analgesic? Is there a role for paramedic administered NSAIDs? What about nerve blocks? Find out the answer to these and more on part 2 of James’ interview with Bill Lord. 🚑💊🤕

Pain relief is important, so what can we actually do to help? In Part 2 of my conversation with @billlord.bsky.social and @expensivecare.bsky.social, we look at best practice in the care of people with pain.

At Ambulance Victoria, around 40% of our patients have pain as part of their presentation and we stand to make a real difference in the patient's experience of their illness. I was extremely fortunate to discuss the topic with paramedicine legend @billlord.bsky.social & @expensivecare.bsky.social
