Anesthesia

Brief summary

Hypnosis may reduce patient anxiety. The main goal of this study is to determine in what extent, hypnosis decreases propofol requirement to induce induction of general anesthesia. Two particular aspects of this study are * the inclusion of women undergoing one day gynecological surgical procedures * the use of a closed-loop system which delivers propofol according to bispectral index to provide induction of anesthesia.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Administered dose of propofolone hourAdministered dose of propofol required to obtain the induction of anesthesia (bispectral index \<60 for at least 30 seconds)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain of insertion of peripheral vein catheterone hourPain is assessed by two criteria: * withdrawal of the arm perfused (no = 0; withdrawal = 1; violent withdrawal = 2), * spontaneous expression (no = 0; frown = 1; grin or verbal complaint = 2)
Pain due to injection of propofolone hourPain is assessed by two criteria: * withdrawal of the arm perfused (no = 0; withdrawal = 1; violent withdrawal = 2), * spontaneous expression (no = 0; frown = 1; grin or verbal complaint = 2)
Effect of hypnosis on bispectral indexone hourEffect of hypnosis on bispectral index before the induction of anesthesia
Time to loss of consciousnessone hourTime between the beginning of injection of propofol and the loss of eyelash reflex
Hemodynamic consequences of induction of anesthesiaone hourHeart rate and blood pressure are measured just before induction of anesthesia and once it is realized.
Target plasma concentration of propofolone hourTarget plasma concentration of propofol corresponding to induction of anesthesia (bispectral index \<60 for at least 30 seconds)
Manipulation of the airwayone hourNecessity of a jaw thrust maneuver or of another manipulation of the airway during the induction of anesthesia
Characteristics of the hypnotic procedure evaluated by the clinician in the group hypnosisone hourThe hypnotic procedure is assessed by three criteria: * receptivity of the patient (yes/no), * rapidity of focalization procedure (very fast, fast, medium, delayed, impossible to obtain), * quality of the hypnotic trance (very deep, deep, medium, superficial, not obtained).
Characteristics of the hypnotic procedure evaluated by the patient in the group hypnosissix hoursThe hypnotic procedure is assessed by a question : Did you visualize the memory we talked about before the session ? (yes, no )
Characteristics of the preanesthetic management evaluated by the patient (all the patients)Six hoursThe preanesthetic management is assessed by one criteria:How do you rate the quality of the preanesthetic period (from the entrance in the operating room to the induction of the general anesthesia ? (excellent, good, average, not good)
Administration of a cardio-vascular agentone hourAdministration of ephedrine, atropine or of an hypotensive agent
