Summary
This study looked at whether playing music through headphones during chest surgery could reduce the amount of anesthesia needed and help keep heart rate and blood pressure steady. Researchers studied 159 adults having thoracic surgery. Music was played from the start of surgery until the patient woke up. The goal was to see if music therapy could make surgery safer and more comfortable.
