Pediatric Emergency Suture Care: a Trial Comparing the Analgesic Efficacy of Hypnosis Versus MEOPA

Patients randomized to this arm will receive usual care, including MEOPA inhalation during local anesthetic injection and suturing of a wound.

Patients randomized to this arm will receive usual care as in the other arm, but before MEOPA inhalation is started, hypnosis will be tried. The local anesthetic injection and suturing of the wound will therefore take place under hypnosis (and MEOPA if necessary).

6 to 15 days after the initial suturing, stitches will be removed according to usual procedures.
