Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Anesthesia

Procedure: Control
Procedure: Hypnosis
Drug: propofol
Registration Number
NCT02249364
Lead Sponsor
Hopital Foch
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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Administered dose of propofolone hour

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain of insertion of peripheral vein catheterone hour

Pain 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 hour

Pain 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 hour

Effect of hypnosis on bispectral index before the induction of anesthesia

Time to loss of consciousnessone hour

Time between the beginning of injection of propofol and the loss of eyelash reflex

Hemodynamic consequences of induction of anesthesiaone hour

Heart rate and blood pressure are measured just before induction of anesthesia and once it is realized.

Administration of a cardio-vascular agentone hour

Administration of ephedrine, atropine or of an hypotensive agent

Manipulation of the airwayone hour

Necessity 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 "hypnosis"one hour

The 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 "hypnosis"six hours

The 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 hours

The 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)

Target plasma concentration of propofolone hour

Target plasma concentration of propofol corresponding to induction of anesthesia (bispectral index \<60 for at least 30 seconds)
