Music offers anxiolytic and analgesic effects in perioperative care, serving as a well-received, non-pharmacological alternative to traditional premedication due to its favorable safety profile.

Area Of Science

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pain Management
  • Psychology

Background

  • Music is increasingly recognized for its therapeutic potential in medical settings.
  • Perioperative care traditionally relies on pharmacological interventions like chemical premedication.
  • Pharmacological premedication carries risks of adverse effects, prompting a search for alternatives.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To evaluate the anxiolytic and analgesic effects of music in perioperative care.
  • To present music as a viable non-pharmacological alternative to chemical premedication.
  • To highlight patient acceptance of music-based interventions.

Main Methods

  • This study reviews existing literature on music interventions in perioperative settings.
  • The focus is on the non-pharmacological application of music for anxiety and pain.
  • Patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction are considered.

Main Results

  • Music demonstrates significant anxiolytic effects, reducing patient anxiety before surgery.
  • Music provides notable analgesic effects, potentially lowering the need for pain medication.
  • Patients generally respond positively to music, indicating high acceptance and satisfaction.

Conclusions

  • Music is an effective and well-received non-pharmacological strategy for managing anxiety and pain in perioperative care.
  • It offers a safe alternative to chemical premedication, minimizing adverse effects.
  • Integrating music into perioperative protocols can enhance patient experience and outcomes.

Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...

Intravenous anesthetics are drugs administered parenterally to induce anesthesia or sedation. Propofol is a widely used agent formulated as a 1% emulsion in soybean oil, glycerol, and egg phosphatide. It induces rapid anesthesia primarily due to its rapid distribution from the bloodstream to target tissues and is metabolized in the liver. However, it can cause significant pain on injection and hypertriglyceridemia. Fospropofol, a water-based prodrug of propofol, lacks these adverse effects.

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Various sedation levels offer significant advantages in facilitating procedural interventions for patients undergoing medical or invasive surgical procedures. These levels span from anxiolysis to general anesthesia, providing a spectrum of sedative effects to cater to specific patient needs. Anxiolysis reduces anxiety and is achieved through minimal sedation, enabling patients to remain awake and responsive while feeling more at ease during the procedure. This level can benefit minor...
