Decreasing Emergence Agitation With Personalized Music
Stanford University
Summary
The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of personalized music on emergence agitation (EA), as measured by Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scores in pediatric patients recovering from elective procedures under general anesthesia. Personalized music may help to decrease EA in children undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia by decreasing perioperative anxiety and minimizing perceived pain. The study has the potential to improve perioperative care by improving safety, decreasing the need for postoperative pharmacologic and nursing interventions, thereby shortening the time of recovery and improving caregiver satisfaction. Participants participating in this study will be randomly assigned to receive personalized music plus standard of care, or standard of care alone. Those assigned to the music group will receive music in the preoperative holding area as well as in the post-operative care unit.
Description
Study Protocol: This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial of children 3-9 years of undergoing non-complex ENT procedures to assess the impact of perioperative personalized music on the incidence of emergence agitation (EA). There will be 2 groups in the study: * Personalized music group * Standard care group All patients enrolled in this study will receive a standardized anesthetic consistent with standard practice at the Stanford Children's Hospital based on their type of procedure: Patients undergoing myringotomies will receive: * Oral midazolam (0.5mg/kg up to a maximum of 20…
