Official title: Comparing Low Dose IV Ketamine-midazolam Versus IV Morphine Regarding ED Pain Control in Patients Sustaining Closed Limb Fracture(s)

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Subject), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Secondary outcome: HR,RR,SPO2,BP

Detailed description: this prospective, single blind, noninferiority trial randomized consecutive ED patients aged 18 to 60 years to two groups: receiving either 300-500 mcg ketamine plus 0. 03 mg midazolam, or 0. 05 to 0. 1 mg morphine. Visual analogue score and adverse events were carefully verified during an interval of 30 minutes. Two hundreds, thirty six patients were selected, among whom were 207 males (87. 3%), and 29 females (12. 2%). The average age was 29±2, with extremes of 60 years and 18 years. the patients were divided into two groups: G1: 116 patients receiving ketamine-midazolam and G2: 120 patients receiving morphine alone.
