title: A brief technique of hypnoanaesthesia for children in a casualty ward.
abstract: Hypnoanaesthesia has been used in the past for the treatment of minor trauma in both adults and children. It is of particular value in the latter. However, the time required limits its application in the Accident and Emergency Department. A brief technique for hypnoanaesthesia particularly for children is described, offering a practical solution. A case is reported to illustrate its usefulness.
