ABSTRACT
There is a clear inverse relationship between preoperative anxiety and effective anaesthesia and recovery. Studies have shown that perioperative anxiety can be detrimental to the efficacy of recovery. In order to mitigate the perioperative anaesthetic risk to the patient, perioperative care must be inclusive of psychological as well as physiological elements. Therefore, when planning and implementing care for the surgical patient alternative interventions, such as hypnosis, should be considered when presented with difficult patient factors, such as crippling anxiety. This article takes on a case study approach to critically analyse and appraise the holistic care of a patient undergoing a simple mastectomy with hypnosis as the primary anaesthesia.
