    Decades ago, I was put under sedation for a procedure. They turned on the music only after they thought I was out, and they were telling jokes and laughing. All of a sudden someone says, "Hey, she's awake!" As they came with the booster, I smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, I'm an airline pilot. The same thing goes on in the cockpit".
    Only the doctor kept his smile. Relaxed concentration is the best kind!

    I had a TT and neck dissection in August. As I went into the OR, AC/DC was playing. I was very nervous and scared going in. Hearing the music, totally changed my focus and feelings. I really appreciated it.

    I often refill medications in the operating rooms, and the music definitely varies. In most cases where I'm at, one of the computers has UA-cam open, connected to the room's speakers. The music in the IR Cath rooms is especially unpredictable, and may be anything from surfer vibes to rock to pop.

    We've been adding speakers to OR's for years.
    Audio inputs are table stakes for any integration system being sold and built into a hospital/surgical center. We've also had Muzak (vocalless elevator music) hard wired in to help with concentration ( and to eliminate the possibility of the Barney Song in the middle of a deep house music set).
    Thanks for the video!

    I have never been asked about it. I had an epidural for bilateral knee replacements at once. The sleepy med doesn't work on me and there was a hard rock concert going on for 5 hours such as ZZ Topp. Surgeon said I wouldn't remember. When he brought the residents into my room the next morning I started naming musicians and what he had said!

    My guess as to why music helps the staff focus is that a lot of people in the medical field, especially high stress specialty like anaesthesia and surgery are ADHD because we thrive under stressful circumstances
    And music tends to help ADHDer focus

    I had to go in for emergency surgery in the middle of the night last year and was of course nervous and exhausted, having been up since 4am the day prior. When they wheeled me into the OR there was light jazz playing. The lights were dimmed too, and it must have been a familiar track bc several of the OR team were humming along with the riffs. That atmosphere made me feel so relaxed and peaceful after a very chaotic day. It was amazing. Easily my best OR experience!

    My relative had an angiogram done recently. He was awake for it so they let him choose the music. Well, they found a significant blockage, and he opted for stent placement then and there. The cardiac surgeon came and immediately switched the system over to his preferred music. My relative noted afterward, "It wasn't to my taste, but I figured, whatever helps him get the job done is fine by me." Seems to me that regardless of who might start out DJing, the surgeon always has the final say!
    When I was having a dental procedure done, they let me choose a Pandora station. I said 80s rock. A song came on with the lyrics "urgent emergency," which of course made me laugh. One of the nurses started giggling, and then said, "Oh no, that's inappropriate." Haha, bless her. I don't think she should've felt bad for laughing! It was funny!

    Love the upbeat music for the intro and conclusion XD
    I'm a med student at a major health system in the South. In the ORs at my hospital, there are centrally controlled speakers in every room hooked up to the same computer that is running all the monitors on the wall (the ones that show the camera during laparoscopic procedures, detailed vitals from the a line/other monitors if there's a transplant case etc). In most cases, the surgeons don't really have strong preferences about the music and just want something playing, so usually the circulating nurse logs into Spotify and chooses the music. But there are some surgeons who have specific preferences. For example, there's one transplant surgeon who is super into jazz and he'll pick specific songs/artists for each day. During the case, he explains the historical context of the song and details about the artist's life. He's a really intelligent guy! But yeah at my hospital the anesthesia team very rarely chooses the music although the environment is super chill and collegial and the OR nurse is usually super willing to listen to any suggestions that anyone might have. Definitely interesting to hear how this dynamic is different in different areas of the country!

    I had an MRI scan and the tech offered my a choice of playlists through the non-metallic earpiece. It really helped keep me calm through the banging and thumping and having to lie perfectly still. Years later I had to get another MRI and the music wasn't working and I was alone with my thoughts, not knowing what was going to happen and it was a terrible experience. If I have to go through it again, put me under Max!

    The Hospital I work at induces anesthesia in separate rooms. They are mostly two "bed" rooms and I have never heard any music playing in there. It is to loud and hectic(fast paced) in there. If you have a good and fast nurse managing that induction station and experienced and fast doctors for the patients , one of those double rooms can induce 6 patients in an hour. (Only if no ultrasound is needed for the arterial line and no central line is required)

    This is a topic of great interest to me. I've had a number of surgeries and procedures, and probably will have more. The team has often asked me if I'd like to hear music prior to anesthesia; the cath lab team has seen me enough that they already know my preference is for classical music (I'm a musician). I've wondered if patients could possibly have earphones during surgery, and listen to their preferred form of music during the procedure - even if they were under anesthesia - if they might benefit from it, maybe requiring less anesthesia and pain medication, and having a better outcome. The surgeon, for instance, might not choose to listen to classical music during the procedure. Thanks for another fascinating video!

      @@henriquelaydner4080 This may be true, but for a surgery a couple of years ago, I was part of a research study in which they were testing whether patients would benefit from hearing things while under general anesthesia. There were three groups - one heard nothing, a second group heard positive/calming messages, and the third group heard classical music through their earphones. I don't know which group I was in, or the results of the research, but I thought it was intriguing. This surgery was at a university teaching hospital.

    I used to work as an UMP in some OR of some major hospital. There was a surgeon who asked to play a song at a specific stage of operation. As he was stitching the patient either me or someone from the anesthesiology team would play one specific song for him at a VERY loud sound. In fact he didn't ask for it but we WERE SUPPOSED to know when to switch it on. It was rather a long track, maybe 6 or 7 minuts, and if done correctly he would leave the OR exactly as the final cords were playing. The guy was a 6ft tall prominent surgeon, and the whole surgery block never had any issue of this stupid song playing loudly at least once a day...
