Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to determine whether the option to listen to music during cesarean delivery increases the participants satisfaction. Participants and their support person will be asked to fill out a short survey and mark their satisfaction on a visual analog scale. Vital signs will be recorded during their procedure.

Detailed description

Currently, our institution does not routinely offer music during cesarean delivery. The goal of this study would be to determine whether the option to listen to music improves patient satisfaction. Also, the study would examine support person satisfaction and changes in maternal vital signs from prior to entering the operating room as compared to prior to exiting the operating room in a sample of patients. If positive satisfaction results are noted in those randomized to the music arm, this would be a low-cost intervention that providers could utilize to increase patient satisfaction during surgery. This will be a prospective randomized controlled trial to determine whether the option of music being played in the operating room can impact the experience for the patient. Subjects will be randomized via central computer-generated randomization 1:1 to either have music played during their procedure or no music played during their procedure. A per protocol analysis will be performed.
