Abstract

Overview: Infants experience stressors. Stress responses in infants include physiological responses (HR and oxygen saturation) and behavioral responses (behavioral state, motor activity, and signs of behavioral distress). Modulation of the stress response in infants may reduce energy demands and enhance recovery. The characteristics of auditory stimulation provided by music differ from those of other types of auditory stimulation. The infants respond differently to music than to other random noises. This study was carried out to examine the effects of different types of music on vital signs of infants.
 Methodology: Thirty infants were included in the study. They were divided into two groups. Low and High pitched music was used with for two individual groups. The immediate effect was assessed through pre and post recordings for Heart rate, Reapiratory rate and O2 saturation level.
 Results: There was statistically significant change in Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate and O2 saturation individually. While comparing post data, except Heart Rate there was no significant difference found with both types of music.
 Conclusion: Low pitched music has better immediate effect than high pitched music
 Key words: High pitched music, Low pitched music, Infants

Highlights

  • Injury has been defined as any harm whatever illegally caused to any person in body, mind, reputation or property, vide section 44 Indian Penal Code (Mallick)[1]

  • Background: Traumatic Brain injuries (TBI) are a real social problem with an upward trend world wide. For these reason prognostic factors in head injury are of major importance to all surgeons who treat patients with severe head injury especially for countries like India for better targeting of limited health care resources and implementation of specific methods of treatment to patients and to determine the incidence of age, sex, distribution, etiological factors, clinical presentation, neurologically assessment and mode of head injuries with particular reference to severe head injury

  • Ommaya et al[8] observed that maximum number of post- traumatic CSF leakage, i.e CSF rhinorrhoea and CSF otorrhoea will cease within one week with conservative treatment

Introduction

Injury has been defined as any harm whatever illegally caused to any person in body, mind, reputation or property, vide section 44 Indian Penal Code (Mallick)[1]. Traumatic Brain injuries (TBI) are a real social problem with an upward trend world wide. For these reason prognostic factors in head injury are of major importance to all surgeons who treat patients with severe head injury especially for countries like India for better targeting of limited health care resources and implementation of specific methods of treatment to patients and to determine the incidence of age, sex, distribution, etiological factors, clinical presentation, neurologically assessment and mode of head injuries with particular reference to severe head injury. In addition GCS, type of trauma and brain lesion, hypoxia and hypotension, hyperglycemia and early post traumatic seizures are the important prognostic factors Keywords: Prognostic, Severe Head Injury, GCS, CT Scan & Radiological
