AI Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to determine if personalized music and different drink options could improve patient wellbeing and reduce disturbances in the post-anesthesia care unit.
- A survey of 1,335 patients revealed common issues such as lack of wellbeing, dry mouth, and surgical pain, but overall wellbeing scores showed no significant improvement from music or ice-tea offerings.
- The findings suggest that despite efforts to enhance patient comfort after surgery, further research is needed to explore different strategies for improving patient experiences in recovery.
Article Abstract
Objectives: Assessment whether patients' wellbeing and disturbances in the post anaesthesia care unit could be influenced by the consecutive introduction of initially personalised music and then additionally various drink options.
Design/setting: A pre-post-analysis by means of an anonymised survey with a validated questionnaire in a university hospital in central Europe.
Main Outcome Measures: Wellbeing and disturbances in the post anaesthesia care unit.
Results: Patients' most frequently reported early postsurgical disturbances (n = 1335) were lack of wellbeing, dry mouth and pain in the surgical area. Reported rates of clinically relevant wellbeing were not statistically different in patients that were offered personalised music (46.5%) or additionally ice-tea (50.6%). No correlation could be found between wellbeing or physical discomfort and headphones or when ice-tea were offered.
Conclusion: After a decade of increased efforts to improve patients' wellbeing in the postanaesthesia care unit we could not show further influence on it by the introduction of personalised music and ice-tea. We see the need for a more differentiated focus on this topic and the need for exploratory studies on patient perception. The most frequent claims were related to lack of wellbeing, pain in the surgical area and a dry mouth.

Background: Both listening to music during warm-up and consuming caffeine before exercise have been independently shown to enhance athletic performance. However, the potential synergistic effects of combining these strategies remain largely unexplored. To date, only two studies have reported additional benefits to combining music during warm-up with a caffeine dose of 3 mg/kg on taekwondo-specific performance tasks.

Complex motor skills involve intricate sequences of movements that require precise temporal coordination across multiple body parts, posing challenges to mastery based on perceived error or reward. One approach that has been widely used is to decompose such skills into simpler, constituent movement elements during the learning process, thereby aligning the task complexity with the learners' capacity for accurate execution. Despite common belief and prevalent adoption, the effectiveness of this method remains elusive.

The inherent variability of lesions poses challenges in leveraging AI in 3D automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) for lesion detection. Traditional methods based on single scans have fallen short compared to comprehensive evaluations by experienced sonologists using multiple scans. To address this, our study introduces an innovative approach combining the multi-view co-attention mechanism (MCAM) with unsupervised contrastive learning.

Objective: What we hear may influence postural control, particularly in people with vestibular hypofunction. Would hearing a moving subway destabilize people similarly to seeing the train move? We investigated how people with unilateral vestibular hypofunction and healthy controls incorporated broadband and real-recorded sounds with visual load for balance in an immersive contextual scene.
Design: Participants stood on foam placed on a force-platform, wore the HTC Vive headset, and observed an immersive subway environment.
