Hmmm, BBC and other music programs as safety tools?
British Medical Journal 09 July 2005 MInerva column Minerva -- 331 (7508): 118 -- BMJ (p2 of 5) Minerva is unsurprised by the findings of an inquiry into the^ effects of music on preoperative sedation and the hypnotic effects^ of anaesthetics ( Anesthesia and Analgesia 2005;101: 103-6[25][Abstract/Free Full Text]).^ It reports that listening to music during premedication with^ midazolam is associated with increased sedation level and lower^ bispectral index values (indicating greater hypnotic effects)^ in the preoperative period. Participants were invited to bring^ in their favourite selection of music, and the psychological^ basis for the observed effects may include issues of control^ and distraction during an otherwise stressful time.^ A historical foray into the benefits of music is found in the^ American Journal of Public Health ( 2005;95: 1106-9)[26][Abstract/Free Full Text]. The positive^ link between music and happier workplaces has long been recognised.^ Music has been shown to increase efficiency, lift spirits, and^ even bind otherwise disparate groups of people together. The^ now defunct BBC radio programme Music While You Work may well^ have contributed to a reduction in the number of accidents at^ work. It was scheduled at mid-morning and mid-afternoon, the^ times when lapses of concentration were most likely to happen.^ |

It started during WW II and continued for some years afterwards. I started work as an Engineering Apprentice in 1949 The sound of a whole factory singing along to the music was amazing! It was certainly looked forward to, to break up a noisy shift. Mike -- M.J.Powell |
