| Material and method:
2.1 Source of data
After obtaining the ethics committee’s approval, samples collected for a duration of 1 year, from April
2024 to April 2025, atleast 88 patients undergoing elective surgeries requiring spinal anaesthesia in
Shree Krishna hospital, Karamsad, Anand will be included in the study.
2.2 Methodology
ï¶ Inclusion criteria
• Females
• Age more than 20 years and less than 60 years
• American Society of Anesthesiologists – ASA grade 1-3
• Patients undergoing elective surgeries under spinal anesthesia
ï¶ Exclusion criteria
• Patients undergoing
• Patients with contra-indication to spinal anaesthesia
• Patients undergoing emergency surgeries
• Patients with psychological disorders
• Patients with hearing deficits
• Patients with cognitive dysfunction Patients posted for surgeries under spinal anaesthesia will be included in this study.
Upon informed consent, patients will be assessed in the recovery room before shifting to the
operation theatre. In the recovery room pre operative vitals of the patient – temperature, pulse,
blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate will be marked.
Patients will be asked to rate their anxiety using Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A)
scale. This was considered as baseline-VAS-A. For this study, we will provide our own headphones to all patients. The choice of music will
be based on patient’s own choice of music that she prefers. This will be started atleast 10
minutes before shifting to the operating table.
On the operative table, patient will be given sitting position, under all aseptic precaution local
anaesthesia will be given. After giving spinal anaesthesia, patient will be made to give supine
position. After assessment and confirmation of desired spinal anaesthesia effect, patient will be
again started on music via the given headphones till completion of surgery.
During Operation, patients will be assessed if there was any need for intra-operative sedation
requirement.
During operation patient’s VAS-A score will be monitored. If VAS-A score exceeds 4 AND
if the pulse rate exceeds more than 100/min, intra-operative sedation will be started.
The level of Sedation will be decided based on Ramsay Sedation score (21)
After completion of the surgery, patient will be shifted to post-operative care unit. Here, patient
will be asked to rate their anxiety again using VAS-A scale. This will be considered Post-Op
VAS-A.
Patient will be asked her satisfaction level based on Likert scale. Surgeons will be asked their satisfaction of conducting surgery and will be asked to scale it
according to Likers scale Baseline and Post-OP VAS-A scale will be compared and assessed if music relieves the anxiety
levels in these patients. |
