no, thinking it over I don't like "precluding"

without fear of "calling off" subsequent surgical options


Explanation:
from your note I understand that the aim is to eliminate as far as possible the chances that the person suffering from the psychosis may die, in order that his or her psychotic symptoms may be reduced.

On that basis I understand your question to mean that the psychosis sufferer needs to be free from the fear of "calling off" or cancelling future surgical operations. That way, the person can avoid the risk of dying while being operated on, or through complications resulting from the operation.

If you come across any further context that would be welcome.
