NCT03507855 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 48

Last updated 2024-01-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.

Interventions

OTHER

Reduced noise

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.
