Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

During Phase I, disguised SoundEar noise devices will be used to record the noise levels in the operating rooms on Labor and Delivery during Cesarean births. Survey data will be acquired from physicians, nurses, and patients to determine if the sound in the operating rooms during surgery impacted the stress levels of those involved. An educational intervention will then be held for the physicians and nurses, and Phase II will involve having the SoundEar devices exposed. When the sound level reaches a distracting level, the light on the device will change to bright red. Surveys will be collected to determine if there is a difference in the stress levels if and when the noise level in the operating room is decreased during cesarean births.
