Richard's Master's dissertation focused on conducting a systematic literature review exploring the utilisation of Methoxyflurane as an inhalational analgesic for managing minor injuries and trauma in both adult and pediatric patients. The study encompassed evaluations within both hospital and pre-hospital Emergency Medicine settings, comparing the efficacy of Methoxyflurane with other conventional therapeutic approaches. The inhalational analgesic was introduced to local Emergency Departments as part of this research initiative.
