This project will investigate whether reduction in ambient light and elimination of noise during induction and emergence from anesthesia influences the response time of the anesthesia provider to auditory and visual alarms when compared to a standard operating room. In addition, the investigators will assess the cumulative level of noise exposure that providers experience during the perioperative period.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noise reduction | Experimental | Reduced operating room personnel, low ambient light and soft background music during induction and emergence from anesthesia. |
|
| Control | Active Comparator | Normal operating room environment. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reduced noise | Other | All activity will cease when the patient enters the operating room and nonessential personnel will be removed. Ambient lighting will be reduced and communication devices muted. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Induction response time | Response time of the anesthesia provider to the auditory/visual alarm during induction of anesthesia | Within 5 mins of patient entering the OR |
| Emergence response time | Response time of the anesthesia provider to the auditory/visual alarm during emergence from anesthesia | Within 5-15 mins after completion of surgery |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Noise exposure | Assess the cumulative level of noise exposure to the anesthesia provider during the entire surgery of a patient | Average of 30 mins - 3 hrs |
