Patient Satisfaction During Cesarean Delivery
- Conditions
- Patient Satisfaction
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Music
- Registration Number
- NCT06539754
- Lead Sponsor
- Geisinger Clinic
- Brief Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to determine whether listening 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 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 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.

Group Intervention Description Music Music Participants who undergo cesarean delivery will have music of their choice played through bone conduction headphones.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Participant satisfaction This is collected during the study duration, on average 6 hours. Visual analog scales from 0-10 (0=extremely unsatisfied, 10=extremely satisfied) will be collected by the patient marking on the line prior to the procedure and during skin closure.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Support person satisfaction This is collected through the duration of the study, on average 6 hours, Visual analog scales from 0-10 (0=extremely unsatisfied, 10=extremely satisfied) will be collected by the support person marking on a line during the participant's skin closure.
Heart rate This will be collected during the study duration, an average 6 hours. Participants heart rate will be recorded at the time of consent and during skin closure.
Music and satisfaction This is collected during the study duration, on average 6 hours. Patient\'s will be asked after their procedure whether they believe music did or would have improved their satisfaction during cesarean delivery using a visual analog scale (0-10)
Blood pressure This will be collected during the study duration, an average 6 hours. Participants blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) will be recorded at the time of consent and during skin closure.
