AB Objective. The case of a non-oncological patient at the end of his life, admitted to a Palliative Care Unit (PCU), is presented. After a failed attempt to place a central venous catheter (CVC) and another placement of a peripherally inserted  central catheter (PICC), the patient exhibited high anxiety regarding a midline catheter (MC) and refused its placement, even though this was necessary for the administration of intravenous drugs to control dyspnea and other complexsymptoms that he presented. Method. An intervention through clinical hypnosis for successful MC placement and symptom control is described. Result. Through clinical hypnosis and interdisciplinary teamwork, it was possible to place aMC, necessary for symptomatic control of a complex patient. Significance of result. This case exemplifies hypnosis as a simple procedure that is easy to apply, accepted by the patient, and effective in the implementation of invasive procedures and symptom control in PCUs.
