Brief summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of classical music listening on preoperative anxiety and postoperative emergence delirium in children aged 9-12 years undergoing elective surgery. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a music intervention group or a control group receiving routine care. Children in the intervention group listened to classical music during the preoperative period and during emergence from anesthesia. Preoperative anxiety and the incidence and severity of emergence delirium were compared between the two groups.
Interventions
