Breathing Exercise 呼吸练习
Breathing Before Surgery 手术前的呼吸练习
Pre-surgery anxiety is nearly universal. The 4-7-8 technique is one of the most clinically validated breathing patterns for acute anxiety, significantly reducing cortisol in the minutes before procedures.
手术前焦虑几乎是普遍现象。4-7-8技法是临床验证最充分的急性焦虑呼吸模式之一，能在手术前数分钟内显著降低皮质醇。

- Begin 10–20 minutes before you're taken to the operating area. Lie comfortably in your bed.
- Place one hand on your belly. Close your eyes if permitted.
- Inhale quietly through your nose for 4 seconds, letting your belly rise beneath your hand.
- Hold your breath gently for 7 seconds — this phase deepens the calming effect significantly.
- Exhale completely through your mouth for 8 seconds. Repeat 4–6 cycles or as directed by staff.

- 轻柔地屏息7秒——这个阶段显著加深镇静效果。
- 用嘴完全呼气8秒。重复4–6个循环，或按医护人员指示进行。

Frequently Asked Questions
常见问题
Is it safe to do breathing exercises right before surgery? 手术前进行呼吸练习安全吗？
Yes, and it is actively encouraged by many anaesthesiologists. Slow breathing reduces anxiety and stabilises vital signs, which can benefit both the patient experience and surgical outcomes. Always follow specific guidance from your surgical team.
