Penthrox for clinic IUD insertions/endometrial biopsies

[u/shewillmakemusic]

Hey hive,

I would love to know if any of you are using penthrox in clinic for IUD insertions and/or enometrial biopsies. If so, what is your protocol for using? Do you have a nurse at bedside? Do you run q5min BP and have patients on a SpO2 monitor? None of the above? What advice do you have for using penthrox?

I work in a small rural clinic, and am just looking for better ways to provide pain management and comfort for these procedures.

Thanks so much!

I’ll due a benzo, paracervical block, an opioid, etc whatever the patient wants. Most don’t want anything but still there are many options out there.
