Penthrox information for Ambulance crews, provided by Magpas Air Ambulance in conjunction with BCH Police
The patient you are attending has had Penthrox administered by a trained police officer. As the patient is now in your care, their Penthrox has been stopped.
It's important to note that once the patient has stopped using Penthrox, it does not affect any other analgesic drug you wish to give and you are encouraged to manage their pain as you would normally.
Please find all the information you should need on this drug below, and ensure that this information is handed over to staff in the Emergency Department.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to Magpas Air Ambulance if you have any comments or questions about the police officer’s use of Penthrox.
