Why do footballers laugh on the stretcher after serious injuries? The mysterious device used on the field after an injury

Serious injuries in football are often accompanied by a curious scene: the player is carried away on a stretcher, calmly greeting the fans.

This instant change from trauma to smile has a medical secret called the “Green Whistle.” This device is an inhaler containing Methoxyflurane (Penthrox), an extremely powerful sedative that is inhaled directly into the lungs, eliminating the need for needles or injections in the middle of the field.

Just 6 to 10 puffs of this fruit-flavored vapor are enough for the player to no longer feel any pain from fractures or torn ligaments.

The special feature of this device is that it does not affect the athlete's consciousness at all. The player remains completely sober, which allows him to sit on the stretcher and wave to the audience. The effect of this "magic pipe" lasts from 30 to 60 minutes, guaranteeing a smooth and painless transport to the hospital.
