The first potential risk of listening to music under anesthesia involving the cardiovascular system is the concentration of the anesthetic. Since each individual has his or her own way of processing anesthetics, each individual metabolizes the drugs at their own rate. When the brain processes auditory stimuli, heart rate can increase, causing an increased metabolism. This increased metabolism allows the body to metabolize the anesthetic faster, potentially causing a patient to become more conscious during a procedure. In order to stop this from happening while the music is playing, the anesthesiologist would have to increase the dose of anesthetic, causing further complications with heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.
Another risk with the increased heart rate from the processing of music is increased blood flow. Bleeding during surgery itself is already a problem, but having more bleeding from music could cause further risk and even death. An increase in heart rate pumps more blood faster to all parts of the body. Since the processing of music causes an increase in heart rate, an increase in the amount of blood can potentially be lost. A person with high blood pressure would make this problem even worse since a greater volume of blood is carried through each pulse, leading to extreme blood loss. Also, patients on blood thinners without going into surgery have problems bleeding out fast from minor cuts, so having a major bleed out from an increased heart rate in surgery could be potentially fatal. These risks of complications need to be reduced by the removal of music in the operating room. It is too dangerous to let even one person be affected by these fatal risks.
Not only does the processing of music affect...

... listen to music while operating. Even though the patient is significantly effected by the music, the doctors can be affected to, and it should not be taken lightly. The communication among the surgical team is key when operating on a patient because what they correlates directly with the patients. Conversations about surgical procedures and medication doses are very important and should not be disrupted by any means. With the studies done, music is shown to disrupt these conversation by a decrease in auditory and communication skills. Words are misheard and misinterpreted which could lead to detrimental effects on the patient on the receiving end of the orders of medication or surgical procedures. The patients’ safety is what is important during an operation, and doctors should not let their want of music during surgery allow a patient’s safety to be hindered.

Occasionally music is used as medicine. One scholar shows that music can lower blood pressure, speed up stroke recovery, help you fall asleep, and help relieve pain (Surprising Effects of Music). Many schools provide a challenging curriculum for their students. Music classes would give students a chance to relax. Research demonstrates that liste...
Whether you’re a devoted music enthusiast or you just listen to the radio to pass time, we all listen to music. However, when listening to music, nobody stops to think about what they are doing. Nobody stops to contemplate how the music they are listening to affects them psychologically. We just listen to the music and enjoy ourselves. In fact however, a great deal of research has been done to determine the psychophysiological effects of music. Many studies have been conducted to determine whether music can help people who suffer from psychological and medical disorders, Scholars continually debate whether music can influence behavior, and researchers are attempting to understand what is happening in our brain when we listen to music.
Music therapy in the U.S. on the late 18th century. Although the U.S. started using it in the late 18th century, there is evidence of music being used to heal dating back to ancient times. This evidence is in the form of historical writings of ancient civilizations such as Egypt, China and India. The ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome also have evidence of using music to heal. Music therapy is much different now than how it was originally used in ancient times. Music therapy is also evident in biblical scriptures. Although music therapy is not very well heard of but it can be very useful and beneficial to people in a range of ages and those with health issues. There can be some negative effects but research is being done to help a wider range of people, and for the most part music therapy is a wonderful thing. (Notecard 9)

Scott, Elizabeth, M.S. “Music and Your Body: How Music Affects Us and Why Music Therapy
Music is everywhere we go; we listen to it in the car, while doing work, and there are even people who pay to listen or watch an artist perform live. Yes, life goes on without music, but music has such an impact on our lives. Life is a rollercoaster of emotions and we have music to fit our emotions to be just as we feel. Music has a great deal of importance of many people. It can have a meaning that they cannot explain to others and are able to connect with the song. By doing so experts are able to help patients overcome many sicknesses with the help of music. Music therapy is capable of being an advantage for many individual patients, it can encourage responses from patients that other methods of therapy cannot get from them. Also, it improves the patients in distinctive ways other than for an illness.
Throughout history music has had a profound effect on a person’s mind, body, and consciousness. A song or piece of music can trigger vivid memories, and induce emotions ranging from deep sorrow to unabashed joy. Music can drive listeners to patriotic fervor or religious frenzy, or it can soothe the savage beast we call human. There have been many advances in technology that have let us study how music affects the brain. Music causes all sorts of activity in the brain, especially during musical improvisation. Music can tremendously help people with certain mind damaging diseases, and in some cases it can have negative effects.
In the provision of a high quality care, many factors influence the way it is provided; however, IC is crucial. A healthy work environment would result from open communication among the staff, it would increase the employees and patients’ level of satisfaction and sense of well-being. Good communication is the cornerstone for the IC, it is a complex process which requires to develop some skills to learn how to transmit some information. One of the most common factors leading to medical errors, are due to miscommunication, sometimes because the message is not clearly sent, and others because it is not clearly received or it is misunderstood (Danna, 2015). In terms of communication non-verbal communication must be taken into consideration as well; body language, facial expressions, use of space, and touch, entail conscious or unconscious movements and gestures, also impacts the communication among the staff and
There have always been discussions of the effects music has on ones behavior, and how it’s related to Psychology. The truth has never really been verified among common knowledge, but it’s usually something that intrigues people. They say heavy metal and rap can make teenagers violent, sad and depressing music can make teenagers sad and depressed, and some say it’s best to listen to classical music when doing schoolwork because it makes your brain more active. There have been many people that reported how music has effects on their behavior. It can lift their mood, “fuel the fire” when they’re angry, or even make it easier for them to fall asleep. People never really get the chance to research the actual science of music, and how it changes people attitudes.
Music is one of the few things that has remained constant through the centuries this world has existed. Not only does music provide entertainment, it also has several effects linked to it. Music allows emotions of happiness and sadness to arise. From those emotions, physical effects, negative or positive, can occur. Music has a profound effect on the emotional, social, intellectual, and physical aspects of a person.

Think back on a time when you experienced something stressful. How did you cope with it? Recall a time when you needed to relax. What did you use to help you? Chances are your answers involve music. The desire to play music while working, studying, or even relaxing is universal. Whether playing the music, singing along, or just listening, music can have many positive effects that aren’t often recognized. Music is unique in its ability to stimulate more than just one brain hemisphere, incorporating both the right and left sides of the brain. Because both sides of the brain are being affected, there are both creative and analytical benefits to making music part of daily routines. It’s no secret that listening to or playing music is enjoyable, but studies have proven that music can boost more than just your mood.
Music can relieve certain medical problems. Parkinsons can be made better with certain musical rhythms. By listening and moving to regular rhythm patterns, people can overcome the effects of parkinson's (Sacks 1). Tourettes can also be made better or worse by performing or listening to songs, depending on what type. Migraines and headaches can be affected by music; again, better or worse. Relaxing or other certain kinds of songs can help out with heart problems. “A review of 23 studies covering over 1,500 patients found that listening to music ...
