Summary
The insertion of long-lasting intravenous device is done under local anesthesia. Currently,
in the investigators hospital, no premedication is given to the patients. However, this
procedure occurs in a particular emotional context related to the diagnosis of cancer or
malign hemopathies.
Therefore, administration of a sedative or anxiolytic drugs before the start of the procedure
can be questionable.
Hydroxyzine is the reference molecule for premedication because of its anxiolytic and
anti-histaminic properties A new agent, pregabalin, shares also the same properties
The main objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of pregabalin and hydroxyzine on
the anxiety score as a premedication during the insertion of long-lasting intravenous device
under local anesthesia.
