Brief 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.

Conditions

Noise Exposure; Surgical Procedure, Unspecified; Physician's Role; Nurse's Role; Performance Anxiety; Concentration Ability Impaired

Keywords

Music; Operating Room; Noise; Surgery

Outcome Measures

Interventions

Interviews OTHER

The investigators designed 3 versions of the semi structured interview guide for each of the surgeons/anesthesiologists (Appendix A.1), residents (Appendix A.2) and nurses (Appendix A. 3). All versions were subdivided into 3 general categories: 1) participant demographics such as participant's age, years of experience, specialty, years of employment at the institution 2) participant's perceptions of noise in the OR, what they considered as sources of noise, the loudness level, whether they thought this impacted their concentration, performance, communication, whether this was distracting or helpful in different stages of the operation, and 3) perceptions on music.
