Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether intraoperative music application has a positive impact on postoperative behavior in children and adolescents.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After induction of anesthesia, paralyzation of the patient and subsequent intubation, a caudal block is applied. After positioning of the patient, headphones are placed on the patients head and in case of the interventional group, music is played. Previously, the volume of the music is adjusted to a range from 50 to 60 decibel. Headphones are removed before extubation.

Postoperative behaviour is evaluated by parents and by caretaking personnel in the recovery room at arrival, after 15 minutes and before discharge to the ward and at home by parents after one, two and four weeks using questionnaires.

sample size calculation: n = minimal number of required probands π = 70% (proportion of interest) → 0.7 π0 = 50% (null hypothesis proportion) → 0.5 μ = (100% - 90%power) → 1.28 v = 1.96 (level of significance p=0.05)

n \> \[ μ√ π(1- π) + v√ π0(1- π0)\]2 / (π - π0) n \> 61.4 + correction for drop-outs (+10%) n = 70 per group → 140 probands in total
