Abstract:
Anesthesiologists are perioperative leaders of patient and health care team safety. The anesthesiologist needs to remain vigilant in the perioperative setting and while caring for patients. The ability to navigate increased noise levels, distractions, and hazards is crucial for maintaining a safe environment. While some noise, such as music, can have benefits, overall noise levels can distract from patient care and have adverse effects on patient care and intraoperative staff. This study provides an overview of noise, distractions, and hazards in the perioperative environment.
