Study Arms (2)
Experimental:Inhaled fentanyl aerosol
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either drug sequence
Active Comparator:Fentanyl Citrate Injection
ACTIVE COMPARATORSubjects will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either drug sequence
Interventions
The subjects will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either dosing sequence: in the first cycle, receive an intravenous bolus (5 seconds) of 25μg Fentanyl injection, after at least a 2-week washout period, in the second cycle, receive a single dose of 25μg Fentanyl aerosol inhaler through the Staccato delivery system; or receive the same treatment in the reverse order.
