Purpose

This study evaluated the acceptability of performing manipulations with intranasal diamorphine and inhaled Entonox to parents of children presenting to our Emergency Department.

Method

65 fractures were manipulated in the Emergency Department in a 4-month timespan. Parents were invited to complete a questionnaire to indicate their experience with the procedure. Fracture position post-reduction was calculated as well as conversion rate to surgery. 32 patients who were admitted and had their forearm fractures managed in theatre were also asked to complete the questionnaire as a comparison group.
