Their most important need is a feeling of control and safety. Hypnotic communication provides a means of addressing these feelings without medication. The core technique is to use the perceived stimuli, like beeping sounds or the pressure of the ventilation mask and re-evaluate them as helpful signs. For example, the beeping sounds can be an indicator of the optimal treatment with the highest level of medical equipment in the intensive care unit and the pressure of the ventilation mask might feel like a tight hug of a friend that wants to help. Positive suggestions work even better when patients are in a trance state. In the intensive care unit, you can use the natural trance state instead of inducing a formal hypnotic trance. Positive suggestions can even help to prevent negative emotions before the challenging medical procedure starts. It greatly improves patients' well-being to replace common phrases in the everyday medical practice. This article gives examples of better phrasings and elaborates the scientific evidence of positive suggestions that can even stop bleeding. The goal is to show simple ways to improve communication with patients and induce feelings of control and safety.</p>","PeriodicalId":7789,"journal":{"name":"Anasthesiologie Intensivmedizin Notfallmedizin Schmerztherapie","volume":"59 1","pages":"59-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139401511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a long time, the prevailing belief was that the course of the disease was comparable regardless of the underlying disease. However, even before the COVID-19 pandemic, it was suspected that there were different manifestations that could be treated more individually and thus reduce the high mortality rate of ARDS, which has remained unchanged for years. The various findings on the heterogeneity of the course of the disease in COVID-related ARDS appear to confirm these assumptions. It is therefore to be expected that the diagnosis and treatment of non-COVID-related ARDS will also have to be individualised according to such phenotypes in the future. However, as long as the effectiveness of such strategies has not been proven in clinical trials, the current recommendations for ARDS therapy will remain valid for the time being. However, the adjustments already formulated in this context to individual pathophysiological conditions with regard to respiratory mechanics, ventilation-perfusion distribution and possible cardiac dysfunction should be made more meticulously than has usually been the case to date.</p>","PeriodicalId":7789,"journal":{"name":"Anasthesiologie Intensivmedizin Notfallmedizin Schmerztherapie","volume":"59 1","pages":"24-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139401507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depth of anesthesia monitoring is common practice in many German hospitals and helps to visualize the interindividual variability of anesthetics, especially of propofol. Although deep anesthesia is associated with increased long-term mortality, this relation seems not to be causally related. Nevertheless, depth of anesthesia monitors help to identify patients being especially susceptible to anesthetics.
