The Effects of Perioperative Music Therapy on Women Undergoing Breast Biopsy Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Abnormal Breast Tissue

In brief

The purpose of this research is to study the effect music has on women undergoing surgical breast biopsy. Through the facilitation of live and/or recorded music listening, we will examine the perception of patient anxiety, the total amount of propofol required to obtain a BIS reading of 70, and recovery time in the PACU. We will also collect data and evaluate the effect of live and/or recorded music on patient satisfaction. It is hypothesized that: 1. Patients in the live and recorded music groups will experience less anxiety than the non-music (standard care) group. 2. Patients in the live and recorded music groups will experience a reduction in the amount of anesthesia needed to reach a state of moderate sedation compared to the non-music (standard care) group.
