Comparison of hypnosis plus sedoanalgesia and sedoanalgesia alone methods used in the ERCP procedure: A prospective randomized study
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an interventional procedure that is often performed under sedation anesthesia and that is used in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatopancreaticobiliary diseases. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of hypnosis in conjunction with sedoanalgesia and sedoanalgesia alone in the context of outpatient anesthesia prior to ERCP.… →
