Music With Surgery:
What You Should Know
Around the world today
surgeons are operating on people and the surgeons are listening to their
own favorite music while doing this. Why? Because they know the power of
music and the profound effect it has on their ability to focus and
concentrate on what they are doing. The surgeons are listening to
Mozart, Wagner, Handel, and sometimes rock and roll or jazz! They claim
that they have more energy while music is playing and that a long and
tedious surgery is performed in less time and with laser-like accuracy.
For the patient, is music provided? No! Is it because the patient is
“sleeping” and not able to hear the music? No! The sad fact is, most
surgeons and hospital O.R.’s don’t realize that music has tremendous
benefits for the patient undergoing surgery. These benefits include:
- less anesthesia
needed
- less anxiety meds
before
- less pain meds after
- faster recovery
- less time in
hospital
- and many, many more
How does the patient
hear the music if s/he is asleep? The patient is hearing the music
through lightweight headphones, designed specifically for the OR, which
put the music directly into the brain, through the 8th cranial nerve.
The are many different types of music a patient can choose, but there is
one key feature that all of the music shares.
