Intranasal Fentanyl for Initial Treatment of a Vaso-occlusive Crisis
Intranasal Fentanyl for Initial Treatment of a Vaso-occlusive Crisis: A Randomized, Double Blind Placebo Controlled Trial

Detailed Description
Principles of therapy for treatment of vaso-occlusive crises include early aggressive analgesic therapy with opiates and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents as well as fluid administration. It is known that there is a significant delay in time to administration of analgesics in children with VOC in the ED. The most easily modifiable factor that contributes to delayed opiate administration is route of administration.
Intranasal medication administration is an easy, rapid way to administer opiates with minimal discomfort as well as bypassing first past metabolism and the blood brain barrier. Intranasal fentanyl has been shown to be a safe and effective analgesic for treatment of acute pain in children, reaching therapeutic effect in 2-10 minutes after administration.
The investigators believe that intranasal fentanyl therapy will be able to provide expedited and effective pain therapy to patients with sickle cell disease presenting to the pediatric emergency department with a vaso-occlusive crisis

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Intranasal Saline
|
A single dose of equivalent volume of 0.9% Normal Saline will be administered intranasally.
Half of the volume will be administered in each nare.
The medication will be administered using a mucosal atomization device.
|
Experimental: Intranasal Fentnayl
|
A single dose of fentanyl citrate (2 mcg/kg; max 100mcg) administered intranasally.
Half of the volume will be administered in each nare.
The medication will be administered using a mucosal atomization device

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Pain Score 20 Minutes After Administration of Study Drug
Time Frame: Baseline and 20 minutes after administration of study drug
|
Change in pain score between 0 and 20 minutes using the Wong Baker FACES pain scale (WBFPS). The WBFPRS has six faces, with each face representing an increasing severity of pain the more rightward it is on the scale (0 is the lowest score , which represents the least amount of pain, while 10 is the highest score which represents the greatest level of pain).. Each face has an even number underneath it, consecutively. To calculate the change, the reported pain score at 20 minutes was subtracted from the reported baseline pain score. Thus, the higher change in pain score is indicative of a GREATER change in pain (i.e. greater decrease in pain at 20 minutes compared to baseline). The greatest possible changes in pain would be a 10 (pain score of 10 at baseline and 0 at 20 minutes) representing a DECREASE in pain between the two time points, and -10 (pain score of 0 at baseline and 10 at 20 minutes) representing a INCREASE in pain between the two time points. |
