Anecdotal reports of mechanical failure of morphine autojets have triggered a review of possible alternatives. Methoxyflurane is one such alternative already widely used by the Australian and New Zealand Defence Forces. The potential benefits and likely significant drawbacks of methoxyflurane are reviewed with the aim of stimulating discussion.

Methoxyflurane: A Review in Trauma Pain
TLDR
Inhaled methoxyflurane may offer advantages over other analgesics administered via the intravenous, intramuscular or intranasal routes in terms of its non-invasive self-administration, ease of use and/or rapid onset of action.
Inhaled methoxyflurane (Penthrox) for analgesia in trauma: a systematic review protocol
TLDR
This systematic review and meta-analysis will summarise the best available evidence and definitively establish if inhaled methoxyflurane is a superior analgesia to standard care in the acute trauma setting and may require amendments to European pain relief guidelines.
Penthrox: a breath of PHEC air for the military?
TLDR
In inhaled methoxyflurane (Penthrox) would provide strong, fast-acting, self-administered and safe analgesia to patients with moderate to severe injuries and provide an option for strong analgesia which would not be subject to the regulations that govern controlled or accountable drugs.
The role of inhaled methoxyflurane in acute pain management
TLDR
Given the limitations of currently available analgesic agents in the prehospital and emergency department settings, the ease of use and portability of methoxyflurane combined with its rapid onset of effective pain relief and favorable safety profile make it a useful nonopioid option for pain management.
Inhaled methoxyflurane and intranasal fentanyl for prehospital management of visceral pain in an Australian ambulance service
TLDR
While MTX provided a more rapid onset of pain relief, INF provided superior analgesia after subsequent doses and in female, cardiac and older patients, and MTX and INF are effective agents for providing visceral pain analgesia in the prehospital setting.
