Sounds are used to communicate, whereas noise is an unwanted or unpleasant sound. Each of these can be perceived differently by humans and nonhumans and in different situations. In operating rooms (ORs), high levels of sound perceived as noise can increase patient stress levels and delay recovery from surgery, which has a negative impact on the treatment process. Active and passive noise control methods must be implemented to ensure patient safety during surgery. Active noise control uses computer technology to create counter-phase sound waves by listening to sounds within the environment. Passive noise control aims to reduce noise through soundproofing and dampening. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages; however, the use of both methods in the OR can provide a quieter, safer, and more patient-focused environment for surgical care. The aim of this review was to explain the effects on patients of environmental noise within the OR and the importance of using individual noise control for these patients.

Patient preparedness influences the overall patient experience for elective surgery. Thirty percent of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients require a staged arthroplasty to correct bilateral arthritis, therefore preparedness and outcomes were compared between the first and second surgery. The purpose of this study was to explore if patients felt more prepared for their second surgery and examine differences in patient-reported outcomes (PROs). An exploratory, retrospective chart review was done to assess patients' feeling prepared for surgery, PROs, and surgical outcomes for patients undergoing staged bilateral TJAs. Fifty-eight percent of patients felt "very prepared" for the first surgery, whereas 76% felt "very prepared" for the second surgery (p = .027). Twenty-nine percent felt their postoperative pain management plan was very clearly communicated to them for the first surgery compared to 67% for their second surgery (p < .001). PROs and surgical outcomes showed no significant differences. While surgical outcomes do not differ between contralateral sides for staged bilateral TJA, patients report feeling more prepared for their second surgery. Patients' varying experiences of feeling prepared for their surgeries can help nurses refine content and optimize patient preoperative education efforts.

Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure performed for airway management during routine surgeries and procedures under general anesthesia. Issues involving the temporomandibular support structure, including the temporomandibular joint, can arise as a result of endotracheal intubation, even during routine procedures. This case presentation describes a patient who developed temporomandibular symptoms after intubation, highlighting the importance of nursing's role in the prevention, early recognition, and management of intubation-related temporomandibular complications.
