The Effects of Instrumental Music on Intraoperative Parameters and Postoperative Pain and Side Effects

The clinical study started after receiving ethical approval from the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University and obtaining patient consent. Eighty patients with an ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) I-II physical status at the ages of 20-60 for whom elective thyroidectomy surgery was planned were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, music group (Group M) and control group (Group K). The intraoperative vital signs of the patients (heart rate, blood pressure and saturation), bispectral index (BIS) values, train-of-four (TOF) values, additional doses of opioid and muscle relaxant needs and complications were recorded. The 0th hour, 3rd hour and 6th hour Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of the patients were measured and recorded. (The 0th hour at the end of the operation was accepted as the moment of reaching a Modified Aldrete Score of \>9)
