The music video therapy in postoperative analgesia in preschool children after cardiothoracic surgery

Abstract

Objectives: To observe the effect of music video (MV) therapy on early postoperative pain in preschool children after cardiothoracic surgery.Methods: 116 preschool children undergoing cardiothoracic surgery were randomly divided into the MV and control groups from June 2019 to March 2020. The related vital signs parameters, the Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale, the FLACC scale, the number of postoperative PCA press and the cumulants of sufentanil use were recorded and analyzed.Results: There were no statistically significant differences in general characteristics and preintervention data between the two groups. However, there were significantly lower in the heart rate, mean arterial pressure, respiratory rate, the number of postoperative PCA press, and the dosage of sufentanil in the MV group than those in the control group after the intervention. The Wong-Baker FACES and FLACC scales in the MV group were significantly lower than those in the control group at the time point of immediately after the first intervention, 1 day, and 2 days after the intervention. The two pain scores showed a downward trend over time, and the corresponding scores in the MV group were better than those in the control group. Conclusion:MV therapy can be an effective nonpharmaceutical intervention in the clinical to relieve children's postoperative pain after cardiothoracic surgery.

Clinical variables and pre-operative depression levels for prediction of pain severity in patients undergoing heart surgery

“…In our patient population, the pain was at its worst shortly after operation, that is in line with what is being reported in the research at the moment [15]. In addition to depressed symptoms, trauma related to the operation and high WBC levels brought on by the surgery may also play a role in post-surgical pain [16]. According to the findings of our research, there is a statistically significant connection between the quantities of WBC and the degrees of pain experienced during the hospitalization process.…”

“…Our results showed that music video therapy can be used as an effective nonpharmaceutical intervention in the clinical to relieve the postoperative pain of children after cardiothoracic surgery 4 . Postoperative pain is associated with many factors, and drug therapy remains the preferred strategy.…”

There are a lot of studies that reported various kinds of treatments that had some effect on pain relief, but we still think of these treatments as adjuvant treatments.…”
