Anti-Anxiety Protocols

Anti-Anxiety Protocols

Many patients develop significant anxiety during surgical procedures, hospitalization, and prolonged recovery periods. This protocol promotes the implementation of targeted strategies aimed at reducing fear and emotional activation before, during, and after surgery.

Recommendations include adapting the hospital environment, minimizing negative stimuli, using calm handling techniques, and considering pharmacological emotional support in highly sensitive or reactive patients. The protocol also encourages minimizing repetitive manipulation, supporting adequate rest periods, and maintaining predictable routines during recovery whenever possible.

The objective is to reduce the emotional impact associated with surgery and promote a more stable physical and psychological recovery process.
