Abstract No. : ABS3199: Comparison of self-selected music and prefixed music on reduction of perioperative Anxiety in adult Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries under general Anaesthesia

BACKGROUND &AIMS: Preoperativeanxiety in patientsis associated with psychological effects.The current study aimed to compare the effects of self selected(SS) musicand prefixed (PF) musicin reducing preoperative anxiety. METHODS: In this study, 90 patients posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into three groups equally. Patients in group SS and group PF listened toSSand PFfor 20 minutes in preoperative roomrespectively. Music continued until reversal of anaesthesia. Vitals of patients, VASscore for pain and post operative nausea and vomiting (PONV)score were noted at 1st and 2nd hour after surgery. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference in anxiety score between SS and PF (p<0.05), between SS and Control(C)(p<0.05) and between PF and C (p<0.05). After music intervention of 20 minutes , heart rate, SBP at T2 was significantly reduced in SS and PF. At T5, thePONVscore was lower in SS and PF than C. There was significant difference in PONV score between SS and C (p<0.0001) and between PF and C (p<0.0003) There was significant difference inVASscore between SS and PF (p<0.05) , between SS and C (p<0.0001) and between PF and C (p<0.0001) CONCLUSION: SSmusic was more effectiveandenabled to maintain stable haemodynamic parameters throughout the surgery in reducing anxiety than PFmusic. PONV scores were comparable between SS and PFmusicgroups. SS music was more efficient in providing pain relief than PF music.
