Brief summary

Intranasal (IN) administration of opiates is an appealing non-invasive way of treating acute traumatic pain in prehospital and Emergency departments (ED). The investigators hypothesize that IN administration of Sufentanil is equal as compared with Intra veinous (IV) administration of Morphine wich is widely recommended in ED. The investigators study is a multicentric, comparative, randomized, double-blind, double-placebo study, comparing quality of analgesia in both groups 30 minutes after first administration of opiates. The investigators also asses side effects and patient satisfaction in both groups.

Interventions

DRUGMorphine

Intravenous administration Patient receives simultaneously IV morphine administration and IN placebo spray. Pain is controlled by: * at 0 minute : Placebo IN (2 sprays, one spray in each nostril) + morphine IV 0,1mg/kg * at 10 minutes and if NPRS\>3 : Placebo IN (1 spray) + morphine IV 0,05mg/kg * at 20 minutes and if NPRS\>3: Pacebo (1 spray) + morphine IV 0,05mg/kg

DRUGSufentanil

Intranasal spray with one spray, equivalent to an half-dose. Patient receives simultaneously IV placebo administration and IN sufentanil spray. Pain is controlled by: * at 0 minute : Sufentanil IN 0,3µg/kg (2 sprays, one spray in each nostril) + NaCl 0,9% IV * at 10 minutes and if NPRS\>3 : Sufentanil IN 0,15µg/kg (1 spray) + NaCl 0,9% IV * at 20 minutes and if NPRS\>3: Sufentanil IN 0,15µg/kg (1 spray) + NaCl 0,9% IV

DRUGPlacebo

Intravenous administration Patient receives simultaneously IV placebo administration and IN sufentanil spray. Pain is controlled by: * at 0 minute : Sufentanil IN 0,3µg/kg (2 sprays, one spray in each nostril) + NaCl 0,9% IV * at 10 minutes and if NPRS\>3 : Sufentanil IN 0,15µg/kg (1 spray) + NaCl 0,9% IV * at 20 minutes and if NPRS\>3: Sufentanil IN 0,15µg/kg (1 spray) + NaCl 0,9% IV
