Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The study is expected to show a significant link between higher noise levels during surgery and increased stress in awake patients. Additionally, patients who are more sensitive to noise may report lower satisfaction with their surgical experience. These findings could support efforts to improve the acoustic environment in operating rooms, enhancing patient comfort during regional anesthesia. Timepoint: Patients noise sensitivity will be checked before surgery. Noise levels will be noted during surgery every 30 minutes. After surgery, patients will be asked a few simple questions about their stress, anxiety, and satisfaction.
