Perceptions On Music And Noise In The OR

Plain-language summary

Background: Noise in operating rooms (ORs) during surgery may affect OR personnel and pose a threat to patient safety. The sources of noise vary depending on the operation. We aimed to study how OR staff perceived noise, whether music was considered noise and what its perceived effects were. Methods: Surgeons, anesthesiologists, residents, and nurses were interviewed. IPads were placed in the ORs to gather noise level data.
