Psychiatry preparation before anaesthesia: abating pre-operative anxiety

Psychiatry preparation before anaesthesia: The pre-aerobic anxiety is in the long river of life, and we may encounter a time when surgery is needed to heal. In the face of the impending operation, the feelings and fears are as dark as the shadows, especially when it comes to the word “aesthetic”. But believe firmly that, with a deep understanding of science and adequate psychological preparation, we can turn those uneases into a firm belief and vision of surgery. Now, let’s talk about it.I. The first agent of anaesthesia: uncovering its mystery veilThe essence of anesthesia.Anaesthesia is the use of drugs to temporarily deprive a part or whole of the body of sensory and motor capacity and to create a safe and painless operating environment for doctors. It was like placing a “suspension” button on the body to allow the operation to proceed smoothly.Multiple forms of anesthesiaPartial anaesthesia: precision effects on the surgical area, which renders the area unconscious and the patient sober.Regional anaesthesia (covering spinal, neurodetoxification, etc.) affects the wider body and also preserves the patient ‘ s awareness.Full body anaesthesia: Inhalation or intravenous drugs put the patient into a state of deep sleep, with no memory of the entire operation, and the breathing and heartbeat monitored by specialized equipment.II. Enlightenment of the source of anxiety: Why is it pre-operative?The fear of the unknown.Surgical and anaesthesia are unknown areas of exploration for most people, and this uncertainty naturally fuels fear in the heart.A deep concern for the body.Patients are often concerned that surgery and anaesthesia may have long-term effects on the body or that post-operative recovery is not as expected.Stress accumulationPressure from a wide range of sources, including family, work, and economics, may congregate into a strong psychological stress on the eve of the operation.Strategic response: the haze of pre-dispersion anxietyActive access to information and awarenessIn-depth dialogue with doctors: Ask courageous questions and get a full picture of the methods of anaesthesia, potential risks and post-operative recovery.Building trust and building professional capacitySelecting a trusted medical institution and a doctor: A good patient/patient relationship is the cornerstone of abating anxiety.Trust professional teams: both anesthesiologists and surgical teams have been trained and tested and their professional skills will ensure the safety and success of the operation.Relax, relax, relax.Deep-breath exercise: A few minutes of deep-breath per day helps to relieve muscle stress and emotional anxiety.Meditation or yoga: To direct attention to the present and to reduce concerns about future uncertainty.Motivation: Following medical instructions, a moderate walk or a light exercise to release pressure and improve the physical condition.Emotional support. Build a strong back.Share with family and friends: share their feelings, their love and support will be your strong spiritual pillar.Joining the patient community: Sharing with people who have undergone similar operations, their experiences and encouragement will make you feel warm and powerful.Stay positive and meet the challenge.Active self-insinuation: Convinced that surgery is for a better future, each challenge is seen as an opportunity for growth. A set of short-term deliverables for post-operative recovery, such as early release from bed and independent feeding, will enhance your confidence and motivation.Pre-operative anxiety is a human condition, but it is not insurmountable, and we do not have to be too nervous at normal times, and we are well placed to translate it into firm confidence and good expectations for surgery through positive psychological preparation and scientific methodological guidance. Together, with doctors and their families, let us cross the pre-surgery river in the best possible state towards a healthier and brighter future. Anaesthesia.
