Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to evaluate therapeutic hypnosis as a co-analgesia in thoracic drain removal in children with congenital heart disease. The hypothesis of this study is that therapeutic hypnosis combined with a minimal effective dose of medicated and inhaled sedation-analgesia is not inferior to higher doses of sedation-analgesia usually employed. This would make possible the reduction of cumulative dose of sedative medication and their side effects.
Detailed Description
Pain and anxiety are common in children with congenital heart disease. They are at risk to develop impaired pain signal processing, and tolerance to opioids and benzodiazepines due to repeated exposure. Removal of thoracic drains is a standard procedure following cardiac surgery in patients with congenital heart disease. This procedure is usually performed after multimodal sedation-analgesia (intraveinous and inhalation drugs). However, the drugs used (ketamine and midazolam) can have significant side-effects, such as respiratory and circulatory depression. A few studies have shown the efficacy of therapeutic hypnosis and distractive methods in children, but with a low level of evidence, unlike in adults. However, none of these studies has evaluated therapeutic hypnosis in children with congenital heart disease. Hypnosis would be an additional way of better controlling procedural pain, without the side effects of medication. This would reduce the dose of analgesic drugs and improve the pain experience. The aim of PEACE-Hypno is to evaluate therapeutic hypnosis as a co-analgesic way of thoracic drain removal in children with congenital heart disease.

Arms & Interventions
Hypnosis
Hypnosis + MEOPA + direct intravenous Ketamine (0.3 mg/kg) In the event of insufficient analgesia or failure of hypnosis, a 2nd dose of ketamine (0.3 mg/kg) may be administered.
Intervention: Hypnosis
Hypnosis
Hypnosis + MEOPA + direct intravenous Ketamine (0.3 mg/kg) In the event of insufficient analgesia or failure of hypnosis, a 2nd dose of ketamine (0.3 mg/kg) may be administered.
Intervention: Medications used in addition to hypnosis
Conventional sedation-analgesia
MEOPA + direct intravenous Ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) + direct intravenous Midazolam (50 µg/kg) In accordance with current service protocol.
Intervention: Conventional medications used for sedation-analgesia
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Primary Outcome : Pain evaluation by VAS self-assessment
Time Frame: VAS will be measured 5 minutes before the start of the procedure (T0) and at the end of the procedure (T1) to assess the average pain intensity during drain removal.
The use of therapeutic hypnosis in addition to a minimal effective dose of intravenous and inhaled sedation-analgesia does not change level of pain generated by conventional sedation-analgesia during intrathoracic drain removal in children aged 6 to 18 years with congenital heart disease, self-assessed by VAS.
Secondary Outcomes
- Hetero-assessment by FLACC scale of the pain during the intrathoracic drain removal(Scoring of the FLACC scale by the evaluator through study completion (up to1 year), blinded to the allocation arm, based on the video recorded during the procedure.)
- Maximum heart rate(The maximum heart rate is measured during the intrathoracic drain removal, through the beginning to the end of procedure)
- Cumulative doses of intravenous analgesics(Cumulative doses of intravenous analgesics refer to drugs administered from the beginning to the end of the procedure.)
- Respiratory depression(The number of respiratory depression is measured during the intrathoracic drain removal, through the beginning to the end of procedure.)
- Parental satisfaction using Visual Analogic Scale (VAS)(Parents evaluate their satisfaction the day after the procedure (D+1), with a minimal value of 0/10 (e.g no satisfaction), and a maximal value of 10/10 (maximal satisfaction))
