Abstract

Background: Prolonged noise exposure causes health problems as patient needs balanced physical parameters like good immunity level, good amount of sleep, rest, etc. On the other hand, mild music or music of choice could create good effect on surgical patient health.

Material and methods: A systematic literature search of databases-articles, reviews, talks have been done till 31st Dec, 2021. All studies reporting the effect of the noise on surgical patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists and other healthcare provider were included. Talks on subject by eminent surgeon, researcher and therapist are considered along with the universities and hospital’s website.

Results: We found 19 studies meeting our inclusion criteria. We found significant effect of sound on surgical patients including increased rate of complication when noise levels were higher as well as positive effect of light or soothing music on patients’ health.

Conclusion: Higher decibel or noise levels have adverse effect on patients’ outcome as well as health care providers or operation room team. Effect of music on surgical team member is dependent on choice of music and nature of healthcare provider.

Keywords: Choice of music, balance physical parameters, higher decibel levels, patients outcome.
