Music Timing for Emergence Delirium in Elderly

NCT06970249 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 400

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Emergence delirium (ED) after general anesthesia prolongs recovery, increases complications, and adds to nursing workload in elderly patients. Although music has been shown to alleviate anxiety and agitation, the optimal timing for its delivery and the factors that predict its effectiveness remain unclear.

This trial will compare preferred music played during surgery versus music played after surgery to see how each affects the incidence, the severity, and the duration of ED in older adults, and to identify which patient characteristics predict ED.
