Summary

This study tests if methoxyflurane, an inhaled painkiller patients can give themselves, works as well as morphine for severe chest pain during a heart attack. About 700 adults with a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) will be enrolled in pre-hospital settings. The goal is to find a safer, easier-to-use alternative to morphine, which may interfere with other heart medications.
