Brief Summary

Hypothesis: By employing suggestions before the induction of narcosis dreams may be evoked and their content may be directed. The main goal of suggestive techniques in the perioperative phase is to turn the content of dreams toward a favourable direction that is considered a pleasant event by the patient. So far little attention has been paid to the administration of perioperative psychological methods that may meet these requirements. Along these lines, in the present study we intended to assess whether dream recalls can be influenced by two different psychological methods administered in the preoperative setting

Conditions

Dreamy State

Keywords

anesthesia; modification of dreaming; suggestions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence of spontaneous dreams and recallable dreams while using different general anaesthesiological methods?

  Dream10: All dream: Number of patient report 10 minutes respectively after recovery about the appearance of a dream. Recallable dream:Number of patient report 10 minutes respectively after recovery about the appearance of a dream with recallable content on control group. Dream60: All dream: Number of patient report 60 minutes respectively after recovery about the appearance of a dream .Recallable dream: Number of patient report 60 minutes respectively after recovery about the appearance of dream with recallable content on controll group .

  2009 - 2011

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Occurrence of dreams and recallable dreams in different general anaesthesiological techniques?

  2009 -2011

Other Outcomes (1)

• Relationship between the content of the preoperatively administered suggestions and prepared dreamfilms as well as the postoperatively recalled dreams.

  2009 - 2011

Interventions

control OTHER

No psychological intervention

etomidate/sevoflurane; propofol/propofol; propofol/sevoflurane

suggestion OTHER

In the suggestion group patients received suggestions evoking their images of favourite place at the time of narcosis induction.

etomidate/sevoflurane; propofol/propofol; propofol/sevoflurane

dreamfilm OTHER

In the dreamfilm group patients worked out the dreamfilm plan using a favourite place technique one day prior to surgery. At the induction of anesthesia the series of images prepared by suggestions was evoked.

etomidate/sevoflurane; propofol/propofol; propofol/sevoflurane
