Music During Surgery?

[Julieaka]

I can't find a post on this - does anyone know if you have disussed this? I want to know if anyone used music before/during/after surgery - or if anyone utilized "guided imagery" before/during/after and what the results might be?

"Some of us who had our surgery at the Cleveland Clinic were given a CD called Guided Imagery for Stressful Times (with nature sounds) featuring Diane Tusek and that helped me immensely with the pre-surgery waiting game. She has a very soothing voice and would lull me to sleep. You might be able to find that online" I just finished posting this in another thread. I also found soothing music helpful.

The Clinic has an information section on guided imagery and heart surgery.

Seems like an excellent idea to help deal with stress and anxiety during these periods, but, no, I didn't specifically use this or music before, during or after surgery.

Here is a link to Diane Tusek's Guided Imagery site. She has a shop there too. I have ordered things from her and she gets them out fast. She's a very nice person and an expert in what she does.

My surgeon was from Texas and played country-western music in the OR during my surgery...unfortunately I wasn't able to enjoy it.

I think usually, OR music is "surgeon's choice".

Nancy, thanks for the website. I am going to order one for Colin, and one for me too.
