Brief Summary

Discomfort during respiratory decompensation of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or obesity with a BMI greater than 30, in intensive care and the establishment of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is frequent and a source of failure. this therapy. Pharmacological treatments may be impossible due to the pathology, the risk of it worsening and adverse effects. In this context, hypnosis appears to be a tool that would promote comfort and thus increase tolerance of NIV.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Comfort

    Quantification of comfort by a Digital Verbal Comfort Scale 2 hours after initiation of NIV (from 0 to 10, 0 being the minimum comfort felt and 10 the maximum comfort felt by the patient)

    2 hours after initiation of NIV

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Anxiety

    Before and 30 minuts, 2 hours and 24 hours after the implementation of the NIV

  • First NIV session duration

    At the end of the first NIV session

  • Comfort

    Before and 30 minuts and 24 hours after the implementation of the NIV

  • TcpCO2

    Before and 30 minuts, 2 hours and 24 hours after the implementation of the NIV

  • NIV duration

    after the first 24 hours of treatment

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Hypnosis group

EXPERIMENTAL

For the hypnosis group, hypnotic support is set up by a doctor/IDE previously trained and dedicated during the implementation of the NIV. The dedicated doctor/IDE will be presented before the start of the NIV setup procedure and will start the hypnosis session a few minutes before the mask is put on. The procedure for setting up the NAV may begin after agreement from the dedicated doctor/IDE.

Other: Hypnosis + NIV

Control group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

In the control group, in order to preserve the knowledge of the evaluator, the doctor/IDE dedicated to hypnosis is present in the service but does not intervene in the care so as not to be tempted to involuntarily put hypnosis in place. The assessor will be chosen from the two other teams present in the other two modules (each module is a seven-bed unit and has no physical communication with the other two) after the start of the procedure for setting up the NIV, with or without hypnosis, in order to be certain that he had no visual contact with the patient and the caregivers present before the evaluation. The implementation of the NAV will take place as usually carried out in the service.
