The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to evaluate therapeutic hypnosis as a co-analgesia in thoracic drain removal in children with congenital heart disease. The hypothesis of this study is that therapeutic hypnosis combined with a minimal effective dose of medicated and inhaled sedation-analgesia is not inferior to higher doses of sedation-analgesia usually employed. This would make possible the reduction of cumulative dose of sedative medication and their side effects.
