About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Perioperative Use of Hypnosis in Pediatric Surgery: Clinical and Medico-economic Interests

In adults, it is common to perform a number of superficial and non invasive surgeries under local anesthesia in order to limit the use of general anesthesia.

Hypnosis is a nonpharmacological therapies that can be used during surgery to improve the patient comfort and experience. The benefit of this practice has been widely demonstrated in adults, decreasing perioperative anxiety, postoperative pain scores as well as nausea and vomiting.

In pediatric surgery, hypnosis is an effective technique for the management of preoperative anxiety. It is used by many teams in their daily practice, particularly during anesthetic induction.

For 2 years, the team of pediatric anesthesia and surgery of the Montpellier University Hospital also offers for selected short and superficial non-invasive surgeries, an intraoperative management under hypnosis in association with ocal anesthesia as an alternative to general anesthesia. If this clinical practice of hypnosis is fully accepted and recognized in our intraoperative surgical unit, to date, no studies have evaluated the benefits of this technique compared to general anesthesia.

The objective of the study is to compare the impact of these techniques (hypnosis vs. general anesthesia) on postoperative experiences of children (rehabilitation time, anxiety, pain, nausea and vomiting, negative behavioral disorders).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Local anesthetic + HypnosisOther

    Modified state of consciousness allowing to be at the same time here and somewhere else. The individual is going to dive into his imagination to extract of an uncomfortable situation. And local anesthetic (solution of Xylocaine with adrenaline 1 % dabbed in 20 % of bicarbonate of sodium 4,2 %, maximal dose of 0,5ml / kg)

  • General anesthesiaDrug

    Sufentanil intravenous (0.1 in 0.2 µg / kg) and propofol (5 in 10 mg / kg on 3 mn) administration

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to "home readiness"

    The time to "home readiness" is defined when a patient is ready for discharge using an evidenced-based discharge scoring criteria.

    Measured: up to 4 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative pain

    Pain is evaluated after surgery and each hour at hospital by the Faces Pain Scale - Revised (FPS-R).

    Measured: up to 10 minutes after the entrance to recovery room

  2. Score Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC)

    Measured: up to 10 minutes after the entrance to recovery room

  3. Analgesic consumption

    Measured: up to 24 hours after surgery
