Music During Regional Anesthesia A Reduced Need of Sedatives
Abstract
The influence of music on the requirement of sedatives during regional anesthesia was prospectively investigated in 64 patients. It was found that patients listening to music had a significantly ( p = 0.028) smaller need of sedatives although significantly ( p < 0.05) more patients in this group could recall a feeling of anxiety during surgery. With the purpose of reducing the consumption of sedatives, we recommend the use of music during regional anesthesia.
