Music During Labor Epidural Placement and Patient Satisfaction
Study Overview
Detailed Description
PROCEDURES STEP-BY-STEP
Once enrolled in the study, patient will be randomized to either:
- The intervention group (music played on a portable speaker system), or
- The control group (no music).
Prior to epidural placement, patients in both groups will be asked to answer one question about their music preference: "What is your favorite music? You can name an artist, genre, album, or any other identifier"
• If patient preferred music is not available on the Pandora app, other apps will be searched (Spotify, Youtube, itunes Radio, etc.)
- If patients are randomized to the intervention group, the investigator will create a station in the Pandora music app using the patient's preferred music. Volume will be initially set on low and portable speaker system placed within 3 feet of the patient (in order to ensure that she can hear the music). The music will be started and volume will then be adjusted to the patient's preference, avoiding music that is too loud but ensuring it is loud enough so the patient can hear it.
- At that point, epidural placement will begin. Patients will receive an epidural in the normal fashion. Music will be continued throughout the duration of the epidural placement procedure, unless the patient requests that it be discontinued earlier.
- If patients are randomized to the control group, no music will be played.
- One hour after epidural placement, the patient will be asked to fill out the patient satisfaction survey to assess their satisfaction with the epidural placement. All patients from both the intervention and control group will be asked to complete the survey.
- Data (see below) will be collected from the chart at time of enrollment and at time of study completion.
