In my Central Coast practice, I use methoxyflurane, better known as the green whistle, in patients undergoing minor surgical procedures. That’s because it is often the local anaesthesia itself that is the most painful part of the procedure.

The good thing about methoxyflurane (Penthrox) is that it is dose regulated by the patient, allowing them to control their pain relief to a large extent.

Here are two case studies of mine that illustrate the green whistle’s potent analgesic effects and its role in reducing pain for minor surgical procedures.
