Critically ill patients receiving treatment through mechanical ventilation (MV) are often given intravenous sedative and analgesic medications in order to reduce anxiety and promote ventilator synchrony and comfort. However, since these medications are often administered at high doses for long periods of time, they are frequently associated with various adverse health effects that can complicate healing and ultimately create more anxiety in the patient. Interventions that reduce anxiety with minimal use of sedative medications are needed.

Mechanical ventilatory support is commonly used in critical care units for treating patients with breathing difficulties. Although mechanical ventilation is a life-saving treatment, an estimated 70-80% of patients depending on the mechanical system for respiratory function can experience significant levels of anxiety during the treatment process.

Noise can be an impediment to the sleep and recovery of a patient. An ICU has several instruments and devices that monitor a patient’s vitals as they recover from a surgery. The authors suggest that these essential ICU devices can produce substantial sounds that potentially impact a patient’s outcome.

Hospital noises can have a negative effect on a patient’s sleep pattern. Sleep disruption is associated with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, impaired immunity, and elevated stress. Limited information is available on the connection between specific sounds and sleep physiology.

Noise in operating rooms (ORs), defined as any unwanted sound impeding on normal hearing, can be grouped into two categories: equipment-related noise and staff-created noise. Equipment-related noise can come from anesthesia equipment and alarms, suction devices, or surgical instruments such as cautery devices, dissection tools, and drills. Staff-created noise can come from opening and closing doors, conversations, overhead pages, and music. All of these noise sources contribute to the average ambient noise in ORs, which is 65 dBA with peak levels reaching120 dBA.

Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on elderly patients in North America. Sedative medications are often used to reduce patient anxiety throughout the surgical procedure, but elderly patients are more likely to experience adverse health effects from these medications. The anxiety-reducing effects of music have been widely studied previously, but never in the context of elderly patients undergoing cataract surgery.
