Hospital Soundscapes Reduce Surgical Stress

WDR 5 Cologne 15d15d Impact 5

Researchers are exploring the potential of healing soundscapes within hospital environments, where the ambient noise is often unpleasant, even in operating rooms. The surgical team is highly focused, and everything is proceeding smoothly, but the auditory environment is notably different. Thomas Samboll from the ALD Knowledge Team is exploring this area, focusing on protein interventions in surgery at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf. Surgeon Eike Sebastian Debus has experimented with 'Healing Sounds' during surgeries. He noted that the sounds immediately affected him upon entering the operating room. Debus believes sound can alter the atmosphere of a space and influence the state of people within it. Acoustic environments in operating rooms can positively influence patient well-being.

Composer Georg Heidu and surgeon Eike Sebastian Debus have explored the use of 'healing sounds' during operations. A collaborative project between UKE, the University of Music, and the Medical School Hamburg has found that music can aid in reducing stress during surgical procedures. Patients under anesthesia subconsciously process sounds, leading to reduced painkiller consumption during procedures. Analysis of pulse rates, blood pressure, and cortisol levels in anesthetized patients indicates a direct effect of soundscapes. These findings are based on initial internal investigations.

“Wenn man in den Operationssaal reinkommt und hört diese Klänge, hat das sofort angemacht. Das ist eine zusätzliche Dimension, die wir im Operations- zahl haben, die einen definitiv beruhigenden Stress und Angstlösenden Effekt hat.”

“aber bei uns im Team stellen wir in ersten eigenen Untersuchungen auf. dass Patienten, obwohl sie narkotisiert sind, diese Klänge im Unterbewusstsein auch aufnehmen. Und da hat man festgestellt, dass eben der Schmerzmittelverbrauch während des Eingriffs niedriger war.”
