Let's hope your anaesthetist listens to Mozart not Metallica while you're under the knife.
Preliminary Australian research suggests playing classical music may be better than rock music in the operating theatre.
Professor Penelope Sanderson from the University of Queensland and team found that patients' heart rates and respiration are better monitored when classical music is playing in the background.
It's common for doctors to listen to music in the operating theatre, particularly in less complicated procedures or as patients are being prepared for surgery.
Conclusion must be that Metallica is blood pumping adrenaline kicing, and yes.... That's why we love it!
