Effect of Music on the Reduction of the Sedative Dose During Coronary Angioplasty: A Control-case Comparison Clinical Study

This is a non-blinded, non-randomized controlled pilot study with patients who will be followed during their coronary angiography procedure and with no follow-up. Patients will be recruited from the coronary angiography patient pool of the American Hospital of Paris and assigned to one of 2 groups in a non-randomized manner. It is expected to enroll around 100 patients and this is estimated to be obtained in a period of 2 months approximately. Patients will be placed in the control group, without music intervention, or assigned to the music group. Assignment will be done in this manner due to limited availability of the hardware and software to the investigation team. Patients in both groups will be matched based on age, sex, weight, height, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, and prior medical history, including diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease and stroke. Each patient will receive a standardized sedation in the traditional manner and at the discretion of the investigator to reach Bispectral index (BIS) score below 90 and sedation score ≤ 1. The primary study end points will be the consumptions in analgesics and hypnotics. Secondary study end points will be pain and anxiety scores as measured the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS).
