Music, anesthesia, surgery...the perfect trifecta.Cue the band.
From LiveScience...
If you're headed for surgery, take your iPod.
A new study by the Yale School of Medicine confirms previous work showing that surgery patients listening to music require much less sedation.
Music is turning out to be quite an elixir.
A 1999 study found that music after abdominal surgery can reduce patients' post-operative pain. Other studies have shown that music before and during surgery reduces blood pressure and nervousness.
Surgeons also perform better while listening to music, studies have shown, and many operating rooms are equipped with sound systems and music playlists handpicked by the doctors.
