Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is a routine cardiology examination that is performed in most cases under local anaesthesia and is recommended for many indications.The objective of our study will be to evaluate the expected beneficial effect of using conversational hypnosis and hypnosis during a transoesophageal ultrasound examination performed directly in the examination room by the cardiologist conducting the examination.

the degree of comfort felt during the procedure, measured on a visual analogue scale (VAS) (from 0 to 10) immediately after the examination
The main evaluation criterion is the degree of comfort felt during the operation, measured on a visual analogue scale (VAS) (from 0 to 10) immediately after the examination. The question asked will be 'During the procedure, how comfortable were you?'

For the 'hypnosis' experimental group, the examination will be carried out in the usual room. Local anaesthesia will be administered by a nurse. A first cardiologist (a doctor trained in hypnosis) will be present to explain the procedure to the patient using conversational hypnosis. Once all the information has been provided and understood, he will use hypnosis to attempt to induce a trance (see section 1.4, procedure performed). A second cardiologist (operator) will perform the examination. As in the control group, the cardiologist trained in hypnosis will assist the operating cardiologist during the examination and may perform the examination himself if the first operator fails.
For the control group, the examination will be performed according to standard practice. A nurse will administer local anaesthesia to the throat, then a first cardiologist (operator) will inform the patient about the examination procedure and perform the examination. A second cardiologist will assist the first operator and may perform the examination themselves if the first operator is unsuccessful after three attempts.
