Prehospital Analgesia INtervention Trial (PAIN)
Purpose
The Prehospital Analgesia INtervention trial (PAIN) is a proposed 4 year (3-year enrollment) multicenter, prehospital, randomized, double-blind, clinical trial that will enroll approximately 994 patients at select LITES Network sites. The objective is to perform a prospective, interventional, randomized trial among prehospital trauma patients with compensated shock (SI≥0.9 or HR ≥115) and an indication for pain management, comparing patient centered outcomes following prehospital administration of ketamine hydrochloride versus fentanyl citrate.

Experimental Ketamine Hydrochloride |
2 blinded doses 2.5mg/ml ketamine hydrochloride in separately sealed pre-filled syringes Subjects will be administered the first dose over approximately 2 minutes via slow IV push. Pain assessment following administration will be obtained and recorded every 15 minutes. Redosing may occur after approximately 15 minutes if the subject has a qualifying pain score, there are no contraindications to pain medication per local protocol, and no exclusion criteria have been met. |

Active Comparator Fentanyl Citrate |
2 blinded doses 10mcg/ml in separately sealed pre-filled syringes Subjects will be administered the first dose over approximately 2 minutes via slow IV push. Pain assessment following administration will be obtained and recorded every 15 minutes. Redosing may occur after approximately 15 minutes if the subject has a qualifying pain score, there are no contraindications to pain medication per local protocol, and no exclusion criteria have been met. |
