Anterior shoulder dislocation, in which the head of the humerus (cup) comes out of its position in the glenoid fossa (saucer), to lie anterior and below its proper position, is a common emergency department presentation. Between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2018, 1654 patients presented to emergency departments in Emergency Departments of the Central Zone of the Nova Scotia Health Authority (Average 236/year). The treatment of dislocated shoulder involves reduction to a normal anatomical position as soon as possible, to manage pain and disability and to minimize the chance of poor long term outcome. Numerous methods exist to effect reduction, most of which are conducted under procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) that allows the shoulder muscles to relax so that they do not hold the humeral head in a dislocated position. PSA involves the administration of intravenous sedatives and narcotic analgesics. Not only do the medications carry the risk of respiratory depression and hypotension, but their duration of action results in longer emergency department stays and the use of intravenous lines, is invasive and adds patient discomfort and expense to the procedure. An additional risk of PSA in this specific population is that reduction of the dislocation to its normal position, immediately removes the painful stimulus that antagonizes the respiratory depression of the sedative and analgesic agents. This often results in unopposed respiratory depression which might be unrecognized as the 'crisis' appears to be over with the restoration of the shoulder joint. Furthermore, PSA requires specifically trained staff and space; and time taken to arrange PSA prolongs the time during which the humerus is out of position. It has been reported that from the time of arrival in the emergency department with an anterior shoulder dislocation, every 10 min delay in reduction attempt increased the odds of a failed reduction attempt by 19%. In the Charles V. Keating Emergency and Trauma Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, PSA is conducted by specially trained advanced care paramedics using standard preparation, monitoring and recovery protocols. In an effort to painlessly reduce shoulder dislocations without PSA, the Cunningham technique has been described, which involves massaging the shoulder muscles in an attempt to get them to relax sufficiently to allow reduction. Although this method does work, and has been associated with decreased need for PSA, it is associated with an increase in the rate of unsuccessful first reduction attempts. After unsuccessful attempts using the Cunningham technique, the fallback is generally to then provide PSA, increasing the time to reduction. Inhaled low-dose methoxyflurane has been used for several decades in Australia as an emergency analgesic for short-term use. Administered via a portable, disposable, single-use hand-held inhaler device administered by the patient for pain relief, it offers a safe and effective non-opioid alternative to morphine. Inhaled methoxyflurane has been shown to be safe, effective, and simple to administer in obstetric patients during childbirth, as well as for patients with bone fractures and joint dislocations, and for dressing changes on burn patients. In 2018, PenthroxTM (methoxyflurane) received marketing authorization from Health Canada for adult patients requiring short-term relief from moderate to severe acute pain associated with trauma or interventional medical procedures. Low dose methoxyflurane adds to the armamentarium of Canadian emergency care providers as an option that is relatively inexpensive, safe and very easy to administer rapidly. As most failures of the Cunningham anterior shoulder reduction method are due to patient discomfort, the investigators hypothesize that inhaled low dose methoxyflurane has the potential to increase first attempt success rates using this method while decreasing the time from arrival to reduction, the need for intravenous therapy or the use of potentially dangerous medications. The Penthrox inhalers will be supplied by Purdue and will be stored in the emergency department in a locked cabinet in a locked box with limited access. It is a self controlled inhaled medication controlled by each inhalation. Each breath a patient takes releases a fraction of the single dose contained in the inhaler.
