“…96 The benefits of using hypnosis for painful procedures in the emergency setting were shown in 1956 for both children and adults. 97 Also, the susceptibility to hypnosis has been shown to be increased in children attending the emergency department due to their vivid imagination, and the stress of the situation. 98 Hypnosis can therefore be a valuable pain and stress control maneuver for staff able to employ the technique.…”

“…Since children have more hypnotic ability than adults (measured by the Children’s Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale and the Stanford Hypnotic Scale for Children), several studies proposed hypnosis as a tool for procedural pain and chronic pain management in children, reporting a significative reduction in pain and anxiety and improving the patient experience [ 23 – 28 ].…”

To date, pain and anxiety are the most common symptoms reported by children who refer to pediatric emergency department. Despite it is well known that the undertreatment of this condition has some negative consequences in a short term and long term of time, gaps in the management of pain in this setting still persist. This subgroup analysis aims to describe the current state of art of pediatric sedation and analgesia in Italian emergency departments and to identify existing gaps to solve. This is a subgroup analysis of a cross-sectional European survey of pediatric emergency departments sedation and analgesia practice undertaken between November 2019 and March 2020. The survey proposed a case vignette and questions addressing several domains, like the management of pain, availability of medications, protocols and safety aspects, staff training and availability of human resources around procedural sedation and analgesia. Italian sites responding to the survey were identified and their data were isolated and checked for completeness. Eighteen Italian sites participated to the study, the 66% of which was represented University Hospitals and/or Tertiary Care Centers. The most concerning results were an inadequate sedation to 27% of patients, lack of availability of certain medications like nitrous oxide, the lack of use of intranasal fentanyl and topical anesthetics at the triage, the rare use of safety protocols and preprocedural checklists, lack of staff training and lack of space. Furthermore, the unavailability of Child Life Specialists and hypnosis emerged. Despite procedural sedation and analgesia in Italian pediatric emergency departments is progressively more used than previously, several aspects still require an implementation. Our subgroup analysis could be a starter point for further studies and to improve and make the current Italian recommendations more homogeneous.

“…In patients in need of anaesthesia at a casualty department (Goldie, 1956) or a prisoner of war camp (Sampimon & Woodruff, 1946) and in women in pregnancy and labour (Michael, 1952) even susceptibility to hypnosis is far higher than usual, and motivation was found by White (1941) to be a factor in determining hypnotic susceptibility. Goldie (1956) found such terms as 'depth' and 'susceptibility' misleading unless related to the state and situation of the subject: his impression was that some of the most anxious children were the most easily hypnotized, while the anaesthetic results of the hypnotic treatment proved best in those requiring immediate anaesthesia. In these subjects the state is indeed one of 'high drive'.…”
