No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different procedural sedation and analgesia methods used for adults with painful fractures requiring reduction treatment in the emergency department.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Which sedation and analgesia methods provide the best patient satisfaction and pain relief?
* How do different treatment methods affect clinician satisfaction and the occurrence of adverse events?

The investigators will compare different types of procedural sedative and analgesic treatments (such as systemic sedation/analgesia and regional techniques like nerve or hematoma blocks) to see which approach offers the best patient satisfaction and most effective pain control.

Participants will:

Be adult patients with upper or lower extremity fractures or joint dislocations requiring painful reduction procedures.

Receive one of the routinely used sedation or analgesia treatments (or no analgesia) during their emergency department care.

Report their pain levels and satisfaction before, during, and after treatment. Be monitored for any side effects, complications, or use of antidotes. Data will be collected over a six-month period at Odense University Hospital, Holbæk Hospital, and Zealand University Hospital, Køge, following the STROBE guidelines for observational studies.
