Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: Assessment whether patients' wellbeing and disturbances in the post anaesthesia care unit could be influenced by the consecutive introduction of initially personalised music and then additionally various drink options. DESIGN/SETTING: A pre-post-analysis by means of an anonymised survey with a validated questionnaire in a university hospital in central Europe. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Wellbeing and disturbances in the post anaesthesia care unit. RESULTS: Patients' most frequently reported early postsurgical disturbances (n = 1335) were lack of wellbeing, dry mouth and pain in the surgical area. Reported rates of clinically relevant wellbeing were not statistically different in patients that were offered personalised music (46.5%) or additionally ice-tea (50.6%). No correlation could be found between wellbeing or physical discomfort and headphones or when ice-tea were offered. CONCLUSION: After a decade of increased efforts to improve patients' wellbeing in the postanaesthesia care unit we could not show further influence on it by the introduction of personalised music and ice-tea. We see the need for a more differentiated focus on this topic and the need for exploratory studies on patient perception. The most frequent claims were related to lack of wellbeing, pain in the surgical area and a dry mouth.
