Penthrox in the expedition environment with Will Duffin

Penthrox in the expedition environment with Will Duffin

In this episode we will look at the benefit and utility of Methoxyflurane, more commonly known as Penthrox. Penthrox is a volatile, self-administered inhalation analgesic indicated for short-term pain relief. Penthrox is a portable, lightweight, non-invasive inhaler for self-administration of the Methoxyflurane vapor. The Methoxyflurane vapour provides analgesia when inhaled at low concentrations. At analgesic therapeutic doses, pain relief can reduce and mitigate even severe pain yet has a short half-life. In this episode I will be speaking to Will about it’s use and limitations within the expedition environment and how and when it can be optimally used as either a sole adjunctive pain relief agent or as part of a larger pain relief strategy.

Will is our Joint Medical Director and provides clinical oversight for all World Extreme Medicine’s activities. Will is a jobbing Devon based GP, educator and adventure addict who thrives in wild places with newly formed teams and limited resources.

He has provided medical cover for dozens of very different expeditions and projects; including commercial high-altitude treks in The Himalayas and The Andes, a luxury Trans-Siberian private train, a reality TV show in the South Pacific and he has worked with UNICEF out in forgotten corners of Myanmar.
