Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is no ideal sedation technique that can be used during Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE), and the data concerning the effects of available sedation techniques on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) are limited. In this study the investigators aimed at comparing the effects of sedation through hypnotherapy with medical sedation achieved by midazolam on HRV.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Seventy-six patients with an indication of TEE will be recruited, the age range will be 18-83 years. In Group Topical (T) there are 26 patients who had the procedure under topical pharyngeal anesthesia, in Group Midazolam (D) there are 25 patients who will receive midazolam and in Group H there are 27 patients receiving hypnosis. All patients will have an IV access; throughout the procedure heart rate, rhythm ECG, peripheric O2 saturation will be monitored with a non-invasive monitor, blood pressure measurements were taken every 3 minutes. Rhythm Holter recordings will be obtained from all patients and TEE will be performed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

topical pharyngeal anesthesia

There were 26 patients who had the procedure under topical pharyngeal anesthesia.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

local anesthesia

Intervention Type DRUG

patients will receive only topical anesthesia with 1% lidocaine

hypnosis

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Hypnosis will be performed by the same anesthesiologist according to indirect Erickson's method

midazolam

There were 25 patients who received midazolam.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

hypnosis

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Hypnosis will be performed by the same anesthesiologist according to indirect Erickson's method

Midazolam

Intervention Type DRUG

Before insertion of the probe, the patients will be sedated with midazolam at a dose of 0,.05 mg/kg iv (to achieve a Ramsay Sedation Score of 2-3). If needed, additional iv doses (0.005 mg/kg) were given during the procedure.

hypnosis

There were 27 patients receiving hypnosis.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
