Brief summary

Acute tramatic pain is one of main reasons for consultation in pediatric emergency departments. To manage pain quickly and effectively must be a primary outcome of the emergency department. However, pediatric emergency department are sometimes criticized for inadequate and delayed initiation analgesia . Indeed, several studies have shown the inadequacy between the intensity of the pain evaluated by the care team and the therapeutic management of it. The ideal analgesic must have a rapid onset of action, have a powerful analgesic effect, have few side effects and can be administered quickly and painlessly. That's why, the main outcome of this study is to assess the non inferiority of a treatment by intranasal Fentanyl vs morphine sulfate (oral use) in children with traumatic pain on arrival to pediatric emergency department.

Interventions

DRUGIntranasal fentanyl + Oral Placebo

Administration of intranasal fentanyl (1.5µg/kg) and Oral placebo (NaCl 0.9%) in children with acute pain in traumatic context on arrival in emergency pediatric department.

DRUGOral Morphine + Intranasal Placebo

Administration of oral morphine (0,4mg/kg) and intranasal placebo (NaCl 0.9%) in children with acute pain in traumatic context on arrival in emergency pediatric department.
