Stress in surgical settings has subtle psychological and physiological repercussions in children. The objective is to evaluate whether hypnosedation is effective in reducing the doses of sedation and analgesia required during the periprocedural period in children undergoing dermatological surgery, without negatively affecting pain and satisfaction. Patients and methods: A prospective, longitudinal, observational study where paediatric patients (aged 5-16 years) scheduled for dermatological surgery were analysed according to whether they received hypnosis or distraction during surgery (both common procedures at the centre). As outcome measurements we used sedation doses (propofol) during surgery and the need for analgesia; pain assessment post-surgery and at 24 h using a visual analogue scale (VAS) or revised face pain scale (FPS-r) (both 0-10) depending on age, as well as patient and guardian satisfaction (on a scale of 0-10). Results: Of the 68 patients eligible during the follow-up period, 65 were included. Of these, 33 were treated with hypnosis and 32 with distraction. Children who underwent hypnosis required less total propofol (45.5 +/- 11.8 mg vs. 69.3 +/- 16.8 mg; p PB Mdpi YR 2021 FD 2021-12-01 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10668/25218 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10668/25218 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 7, 2025
