On-Arrival Lumbar Epidural Analgesia for Lower Limb Trauma Pain in Emergency Care: A Superiority Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Lower limb trauma in emergency settings often leads to pain management challenges. Traditional methods, primarily non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids, have limitations. This study explores the efficacy of epidural analgesia in emergency for lower limb trauma patients (ELETRA) as an alternative for managing pain in lower limb trauma patients upon arrival in emergency care.
