25 years ago today, East Anglian Air Ambulance was founded, with one mission: to save lives across East Anglia. Today, we attend an average of six people every single day, and that's only possible thanks to you. Thank you for being by our side. Together we save lives 💛

Limitations: • No direct data from actual major incidents • Sparse evidence in frail/elderly and hypovolaemic subgroups Despite this, we recommend OTFC dosing for adults and children in relevant scenarios. #EmergencyMedicine #Trauma #Analgesia #DisasterMedicine

Evidence base: 28 studies (13 adult, 14 paediatric, 1 frail/elderly), including 18 RCTs. Heterogeneity precluded meta-analysis. Most patients experienced clinically significant pain relief; serious adverse events were rare.

Key findings—optimal dosing: • Adults (18–65, responsive to voice): 800 mcg OTFC balances efficacy and safety • Children (>5 years, responsive to voice): 10–15 mcg/kg OTFC delivers effective analgesia with minimal serious adverse events.
