Summary

Suturing is a daily practice in the emergency department, but it can be painful and stressful for patients. Hypnosis is increasingly used as a complement to the usual painkillers. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of hypnosis on stitch placement in emergency department patients presenting with lacerations assessed by heart rate variability.

Conditions

  • Wound of Skin

Interventions

OTHER

Hypnosis

Before the beginning of stitches, the patient will be offered a hypnotic induction. The hypnotic induction is the initial phase of the hypnosis process. Its goal is to bring the patient to a state of dissociation: the hypnotic trance. Induction is usually achieved through progressive relaxation, sensory focusing, and a process of confusion.
