MusiC to Prevent deliriUm During neuroSurgerY

Participants in the music group will receive headphones with music 30 minutes before surgery. Patients will be able to choose music from a preselected list composed by a team consisting of researchers and dedicated music therapists. The headphones will be removed just before entering the operating room. Once in the operating room they will receive earphones after intubation, compatible with the Mayfield and site of operation. The intraoperative music intervention will be continued during the surgical procedure and discontinued just before detubation. The duration of the intraoperative music intervention depends on the duration of surgery and will be documented. After surgery, during recovery at the post-operative care unit (PACU) another 30 minutes of music through headphones will be given. The following 3 days at the neurosurgical ward they will receive music twice a day for 30 minutes.
