HYPNOTIC ANESTHESIA IN INGUINAL HERNIA SURGERY: A CASE STUDY
Journal Title: Nursing And Midwifery Journal - Year 2023, Vol 21, Issue 6
Abstract
Background & Aims: Hernia disease occurs when an area of an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak muscle layer. The most common treatment of this disease is hernia surgery, which is performed with anesthesia in two ways, open and closed. Anesthesia in older people with underlying diseases will be risky. In this case study, due to the high age of the patient candidate for hernia surgery, the patient was anesthetized through hypnosis. Case Report: The case was an 87-year-old woman who was admitted to a hospital in Sari with the diagnosis of inguinal hernia and was discharged from the hospital one day after surgery with the help of hypnotic anesthesia. Hypnosis was performed by a psychiatrist and a psychotherapy fellowship who had completed a hypnotherapy course at the Iranian Clinical Hypnosis Association. Conclusion: Since there is no medical treatment for hernia and its definitive treatment is surgery, the complications caused by anesthesia medications are high in the elderly. So, using hypnotic anesthesia is a suitable way to reduce the complications caused by anesthesia. Using hypnotic anesthesia is recommended for other high-risk patients who are candidate for surgery.
