COMPARISON OF EFFICACY OF TWO TYPES OF MUSIC PLAYED INTRA-OPERATIVELY AS AN ADJUNCT TO SPINAL ANESTHESIA FOR BETTER PERI-OPERATIVE EXPERIENCE OF THE PATIENT: A RANDOMISED CONTROL STUDY
AbstractAim: To compare the effects of two types of music (meditation and devotional) played intra-operatively and control (no music) as an adjunct to spinal anaesthesia for better and holistic approach to perioperative care of the patient. Methodology: A prospective, randomised control study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital with 60 patients. The patients were randomly allocated into three groups with 20 members in each group as group A with meditation music, group B with devotional music and group C with no music. Informed consent was obtained from the patients and the following parameters were observed – intra-operative hemodynamic profile, post-operative anxiety, post-operative nausea & vomiting and overall patient satisfaction. After intervention data was collected and statistically analyzed. Results: The patients in the intra-operative music groups showed statistically significant reduction in post-operative anxiety and pain and better hemodynamic profile. The patients in the meditation group showed statistically significant reduction in the same parameters when compared with the patients in the devotional group. Overall patient satisfaction was more significant in devotional group as compared to medication group and control group. Conclusion: We showed that music played intraoperatively is good adjunct to spinal anaesthesia and has potential to enrich patients’ perioperative experience by reducing intra-operative and post-operative anxiety, improving hemodynamic profile and increasing overall patient satisfaction.
