Impact of Music on Satisfaction, Anxiety, and Hemodynamics During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Anxiety, Hypotension

In brief

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of perioperative music on maternal anxiety, hemodynamic response to spinal anesthesia, postoperative pain medication requirement, and overall maternal satisfaction. Investigators hypothesize that women exposed to perioperative music will have greater overall satisfaction with the delivery experience. Investigators also hypothesize that perioperative music will lower anxiety levels of women having a scheduled cesarean delivery, result in a less profound degree of spinal-induced hypotension prior to cesarean delivery, and result in a lower requirement of analgesics postpartum.
