TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - The effect of music on anaesthetists' psychomotor performance JO - Anaesthesia A1 - Hawksworth, C. R. A1 - Sivalingam, P. A1 - Asbury, A. J. SP - 195 EP - 197 VL - 53 IS - 2 N2 - Music is frequently played in operating theatres, but may prove distracting to anaesthetists. We undertook a laboratory-based study of the effects of music on the psychomotor performance of 12 anaesthetic trainees. Using part of the computer-based PsychE psychomotor evaluation programme, we were unable to demonstrate any effect of self-chosen music, silence, white noise or classical music on their performance in these tests.
