Hypnoanesthesia in the morbidly obese.

D M Morris, R G Nathan, R A Goebel

    JAMA
    |June 14, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hypnoanesthesia offers a viable alternative for patients unsuitable for conventional anesthesia, particularly those with morbid obesity. While unpredictable, this technique requires close collaboration for managing complex surgical cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Psychosomatic Medicine

    Background:

    • Chemical anesthesia is standard for major operations, but some patients present challenges.
    • Patients with morbid obesity may not be safely managed with conventional anesthetic techniques.

    Observation:

    • This report details a case of hypnoanesthesia in a patient with morbid obesity.
    • The study highlights the advantages and disadvantages of using hypnosis as an anesthetic adjunct.

    Findings:

    • Hypnoanesthesia is unpredictable, necessitating critical cooperation among the patient, hypnotist, anesthesiologist, and surgeon.
    • This technique can be effective for removing very large lesions in carefully selected patients.

    Implications:

    • Hypnoanesthesia serves as a crucial alternative for patients who cannot undergo conventional anesthesia safely.
    • This approach expands treatment options for high-risk surgical candidates.
