For the last several weeks I’ve prepared mentally for Cardiac Catheterization surgical procedure.
It involves passing a thin flexible tube (catheter) into the right or left side of the heart, usually from the groin or the arm.
The health care provider cleans a site on my arm, neck, or groin and inserts a line into one of my veins. This is called an intravenous (IV) line.
A larger plastic thin tube called a sheath is placed into a vein or artery in your leg or arm. Then longer plastic tubes called catheters are carefully moved up into the heart using live x-rays as a guide. Then the doctor can:
- Collect blood samples from the heart
- Measure pressure and blood flow in the heart's chambers and in the large arteries around the heart
- Measure the oxygen in different parts of your heart
- Examine the arteries of the heart
- Perform a biopsy on the heart muscle
If I have a blockage, I may have angioplasty and a stent placed during the procedure.
The test may last 30 - 60 minutes. If I also need special procedures, the test may take longer. If the catheter is placed in my groin, I will usually be asked to lie flat on my back for a few hours after the test to avoid bleeding.
For my mental preparation I recorded this hypnosis session “Pre-Surgical Preparation through Hypnosis”.
The purpose for the hypnosis preparation is to avoid stress and so that my muscles and all body parts will be more relaxed during the procedure. Also having the right state of mind helps in healing the body quicker.
In 2010 I was rushed to the emergency room with an absest epidural and for my recovery I recorded this hypnosis session “Post Surgery Fast Recovery through Hypnosis”.
Both Sessions are extremely helpful for any type of Pre and Post Surgical Preparation. You can review them by going to http://donlprice.com/hypnosis_downloads.html
