Core Tip

Core Tip: This research project examines the impact of music therapy in combination with anesthesia recovery care on colorectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection. A comparison was made between standard nursing care and music therapy plus anesthesia recovery care. Several key outcomes were assessed, including anesthesia recovery quality, vital signs, stress response, postoperative recovery quality, and complications. The combination therapy offered superior clinical benefits, contributing to higher recovery quality, minimized vital sign fluctuations, more effectively mitigated stress responses, better postoperative outcomes, and decreased complication rates in the study population.
