Summary
Hypnosis sedation significantly reduced postoperative pain and anxiety in breast cancer surgery patients. This approach also lowered inflammatory markers, suggesting a beneficial role in perioperative recovery.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Anesthesiology
- Psychosomatic Medicine
Background:
- Hypnosis sedation is emerging as an alternative anesthesia method for breast oncologic surgery.
- Assessing its impact on patient recovery and inflammatory response is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of hypnosis sedation compared to general anesthesia in breast cancer surgery.
- To analyze its effects on pain, anxiety, distress, and inflammatory markers.
Main Methods:
- A prospective, non-randomized study included 284 patients undergoing breast surgery.
- Patients were divided into three groups: general anesthesia (GA), GA with hypnorelaxation (GAVRH), and exclusive hypnosis sedation (HYPS).
- Pain, anxiety, distress, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured.
Main Results:
- Hypnosis sedation (HYPS) group showed statistically lower pain and anxiety scores on postoperative days 1 and 8.
- Patients in the HYPS group had reduced non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) consumption.
- NLR and CRP levels were significantly lower on postoperative day 1 for patients receiving hypnosis sedation.
Conclusions:
- Hypnosis sedation offers benefits in reducing postoperative pain and NSAID use in breast cancer surgery.
- These clinical benefits are associated with a significant reduction in perioperative inflammatory markers.
- Hypnosis sedation presents a promising approach for enhancing recovery in oncologic surgery.

01:24General Anesthesia: Overview
190
Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...

Various sedation levels offer significant advantages in facilitating procedural interventions for patients undergoing medical or invasive surgical procedures. These levels span from anxiolysis to general anesthesia, providing a spectrum of sedative effects to cater to specific patient needs. Anxiolysis reduces anxiety and is achieved through minimal sedation, enabling patients to remain awake and responsive while feeling more at ease during the procedure. This level can benefit minor...

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

01:20Inhalational Anesthetics: Overview
176
Inhalation anesthetics are drugs that induce general anesthesia upon inhalation. They work by increasing the sensitivity of GABAA receptors or inhibiting NMDA receptors, leading to a decrease in central nervous system activity. The depth of anesthesia can be rapidly adjusted by changing the concentration of the inhaled gas. Some common examples of inhalational anesthetics include volatile liquids like isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane and gases like xenon and nitrous oxide. Isoflurane, a...

01:23Sedatives and Hypnotics: Overview
270
Sedatives are drugs that alleviate anxiety, while hypnotics induce sleep. Both classes of medication suppress neuronal activity, leading to a calming effect for sedatives and facilitating sleep for hypnotics.
Sedative-hypnotics are categorized into barbiturates, benzodiazepines (BZDs), and non-benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. These drugs work by suppressing central nervous system activity, and this suppression is dose-dependent. Older sedative medications, like barbiturates, follow a linear curve in...

Sedatives and hypnotics encompass a wide range of substances, each with its unique mechanism of action, uses, and potential adverse effects.
Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
