Music Reduces Stress and Drug Use in Surgery

Music Reduces Stress and Drug Use in Surgery

Doctors in Delhi did a study to see if music helps people during surgery.

They found that playing soft music like flute or piano during surgery can make patients need less medicine and recover faster.

The patients who listened to music needed lower doses of drugs like propofol and fentanyl.

They also had less stress and better control of their blood pressure.

The doctors think that even though the patients are unconscious, their minds can still benefit from the music.

This can make the surgery and recovery easier and more comfortable.
