Brief Summary

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

This project will investigate whether reduction in ambient light and elimination of noise during induction and emergence from anesthesia influences the response time of the anesthesia provider to auditory and visual alarms when compared to a standard operating room. In addition, the investigators will assess the cumulative level of noise exposure that providers experience during the perioperative period.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Noise reduction

Reduced operating room personnel, low ambient light and soft background music during induction and emergence from anesthesia.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Reduced noise

Intervention Type OTHER

All activity will cease when the patient enters the operating room and nonessential personnel will be removed. Ambient lighting will be reduced and communication devices muted.

Control

Normal operating room environment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Normal

Intervention Type OTHER

No change in the normal operating room environment.
