Canadian footballer Ismaël Koné's use of the "green whistle" for pain relief during a World Cup match has sparked interest. This handheld inhaler, containing methoxyflurane, offers rapid, non-opioid pain relief for athletes with injuries like suspected fractures. While effective for immediate pain management, its use in India is restricted to specific medical emergencies under strict regulations.
