“…Indeed, multiple case reports presented in the Anesthesia Incident Reporting System (AIRS) in the newsletter of the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) highlight that loud music interferes with safe patient care in the OR [64]. It is suggested that clinicians can ameliorate these effects through the use of "smart" OR music that adjusts volume down during critical patient care episodes [63,65]. For example, the Canary Box is a device that utilizes vital sign algorithms to mute music in times that require focus and quiet [66].…”

The intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital is an environment subjected to ceaseless noise. Patient alarms contribute to the saturated auditory environment and often overwhelm healthcare providers with constant and false alarms. This may lead to alarm fatigue and prevent optimum patient care. In response, a multisensory alarm system developed with consideration for human neuroscience and basic music theory is proposed as a potential solution. The integration of auditory, visual, and other sensory output within an alarm system can be used to convey more meaningful clinical information about patient vital signs in the ICU and operating room to ultimately improve patient outcomes.
