Music significantly reduces anxiety and the need for sedatives during epidural anesthesia. Listening to music during regional anesthesia can improve the patient

Area of Science:

Anesthesiology
Psychology

Background:

Epidural anesthesia is commonly used for surgical procedures.
Anxiety and increased physiological stress can occur during surgery under regional anesthesia.
Sedatives are often administered to manage anxiety and improve patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the influence of music on patients receiving epidural anesthesia.
To assess the sedating effect of music during surgery.
To evaluate music's impact on anxiety levels and physiological parameters.

Main Methods:

A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 120 patients undergoing epidural anesthesia.
Patients were divided into two groups: one group listened to music (walkman music), and the other served as a control (non-music group).

Anxiety levels, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and sedative requirements were monitored.

Main Results:

Significantly fewer patients in the music group experienced anxiety during surgery (P = 0.049).
The non-music group exhibited higher heart rate and mean arterial pressure, indicating increased cardiac loading.
Patients listening to music required significantly fewer sedatives (P = 0.001).

Conclusions:

Music can effectively reduce anxiety and the need for sedatives in patients undergoing regional anesthesia.
Incorporating music during regional anesthesia can create a more favorable anesthetic environment.
The use of music is recommended to reduce sedative consumption and enhance patient comfort during anesthesia.
