U.S., July 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07089485) titled 'Impact of Anesthesia Monitoring Alarm Sound Level on the Cognitive Load of a Surgical Trainee Using a Simulator' on July 10.
Brief Summary: Noise in hospital environments, particularly in operating rooms, poses challenges to both patient comfort and healthcare professionals' performance. Among the sources of noise, anesthesia monitoring alarms are essential for patient safety, yet no clear guidelines exist regarding their optimal sound level. Excessive alarm volume may increase distraction and cognitive load, especially for surgical trainees, potentially impairing their focus and performance during procedures. This randomized pilot ...
