Hospital noise may impact anesthesia quality, new study warns
NCT ID NCT07194707
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether noise in the operating room changes how deeply patients are asleep during surgery and affects their heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers will measure noise levels and compare them to standard monitoring data from 70 adults having elective surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to understand if quieter rooms could improve patient safety.

Who is studied
Adult patients aged 18-70 years undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital will be included. Eligible participants must have ASA physical status I-II, be cognitively able to provide informed consent, and scheduled for surgeries lasting up to 2 hours.
