Medical question continues
What type of analgesic do they use in A& E departments and in what doses?
Also what would paramedics do for sucking chest wounds.And what facilities etc do they have in ITU's for dealing with these wounds. It is for a novel that i am writing.

Unless the pain was of mind-blowing proportions, they wouldn't administer morphine. It's too easy to get addicted to. I'd say demerol or codeine.

Also very addictive. I don't believe that there is such a thing as a pain killer that isn't addictive.
I would think a local, actually. It's only a small area of trauma, despite how serious it is to be leaking around your air seal. And even if the lungs and such are lesioned, they don't hurt.
