Music has a long-standing place in the operating theatre. Nonetheless, limited studies have investigated the role of music during Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) surgical procedures.
To evaluate the benefits of background music on ENT theatre staff.
A 10-question survey was distributed to ENT theatre staff over a four week period.
A total of 36 ENT theatre staff responded to the survey, a response rate of 86%. Most participants (61%) enjoyed the calming effect of background music in ENT surgery. The majority of participants responded that music did not affect their communication with other staff (69%), and improved their concentration (61%). Most respondents agreed that music can produce a sense of comfort for the patients (69%), and reduce anxiety before anaesthesia (75%).
Background music can have a calming effect on staff in paediatric elective ENT surgery. This is a decision to be made by the surgical team with direct patient care and, if there is any concern about communication and distraction, then it is to be avoided.
音乐在手术室中一直占有一席之地。然而，针对耳鼻喉（ENT）外科手术期间音乐作用的研究有限。
评估背景音乐对耳鼻喉科手术室工作人员的益处。
在四周时间内向耳鼻喉科手术室工作人员发放了一份包含10个问题的调查问卷。
共有36名耳鼻喉科手术室工作人员回复了调查问卷，回复率为86%。大多数参与者（61%）喜欢耳鼻喉科手术中背景音乐的舒缓效果。大多数参与者表示音乐不影响他们与其他工作人员的沟通（69%），并提高了他们的注意力（61%）。大多数受访者同意音乐能为患者营造舒适感（69%），并减轻麻醉前的焦虑（75%）。
背景音乐可对小儿择期耳鼻喉科手术中的工作人员产生舒缓作用。这是一个由直接护理患者的手术团队做出的决定，如果对沟通和注意力分散有任何担忧，则应避免使用背景音乐。
