Study Overview

Brief Summary

To hypnosedation alone given before and during surgery on reducing opioid use after surgery compared to standard general anesthesia given alone or with hypnosedation.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES

The proposed trial will randomize women and men with stage 0/I breast cancer scheduled for a lumpectomy, including excisional biopsy, ± sentinel node biopsy to one of three groups: 1) surgery with a local anesthetic, fentanyl, and HS before and during surgery (HS); 2) HS before surgery with usual care general anesthesia (HS-GA; total intravenous anesthesia rendering the patient unconscious with propofol infusion, airway instrumentation with a laryngeal mask airway or endotracheal tube, fentanyl, and local anesthetic); or 3) Usual care general anesthesia same as HS-GA group (GA). This project will allow further exploration of HS during surgery and to explore the biopsychosocial processes associated with analgesia and opioid use, anesthesia, and pain. We will test the hypotheses that HS during breast cancer surgery leads to reduced analgesia and opioid use, less pain and psychological stress, and faster recovery, as well as being more cost effective than GA or HS before surgery with GA.

Primary Objective:

To determine the efficacy of HS provided by a nurse anesthetist before and during surgery versus HS-GA or GA on reducing morphine equivalent daily dose (MEDD) from day of surgery through post-operative day (POD) 14.

Arms & Interventions

Group 1

Experimental

Participants will receive hypnosedation before and during surgery as well as local anesthesia and pain/nausea medications during surgery

Intervention: Group 1 (Behavioral)

Group 2

Experimental

Participants will receive hypnosedation before surgery and standard general anesthesia during surgery.

Intervention: Group 2 (Behavioral)

Group 3

Experimental

Participants will receive standard general anesthesia alone. You will not receive hypnosedation.

Intervention: Group 3 (Behavioral)
