Details and patient eligibility

About

Procedural pain in resuscitation is common in the conscious patient. However, analgesia and sedation may be impossible because of the acute pathology leading to resuscitation, comorbidities or the urgency of the invasive procedure. In addition, the use of analgesics and sedatives is responsible for adverse effects. In this context, hypnosis appears to be an additional analgesic tool that would reduce the consumption of analgesics and sedatives and thus reduce their side effects.
