Brief 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.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria * patient ages 3-9 (chosen due to high incidence of emergence delirium and presence of musical memory seen in this age group) * unilateral or bilateral myringotomy procedure, laser treatment for skin lesions, adenoidectomy without tonsillectomy * tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy Exclusion Criteria * Chronic intake of any sedative or analgesic medication * Combined surgical procedure not otherwise listed in inclusion criteria * Surgical or anesthetic complications (including use of invasive airway device for myringotomy) * History of significant hearing loss impeding the ability to hear music * Lack of interest in music reported by parents or inability to identify personally meaningful music
