According to Spotify 49% of surgeons listen to rock in the theatre, with pop music the second most at 48%. Classical music is listened to by 43% of surgeons, followed by jazz at 24% and R&B at 21%.
According to several doctors surveyed, listening to music in the operating room is calming, breaks tension and helps improve focus. “It calms the nerves and improves staff moral,” said one surgeon.
“At times it keeps the room mellow and coordinated, and at other times it keeps the pace up,” said another.
The surgeons interviewed did stress that the music is turned down during critical points in the operation, with safety remaining paramount.
