Introduction: The first hour post general anesthetic is the important time for patient because
in this time respiratory distress can occur although patient seems wake up. Accelerate the
recovery time is important to minimize the several complications. Post general anesthetic
recovery on adult monitored by Aldrete scores. It provides information when the patient can be
moved from the recovery room. This study was to determine an overview of the therapeutic
effect of murottal for recovery time of post general anesthetic patient. Method: A quasyexperimental
study with post only with control group design. Used consecutive sampling and
obtained 36 respondents (18 for exsperiment group, 18 for control group). Data collected by
observation and analyzed using independent t-test with level of significance 0.05. Result:
Recovery time of experimental group were between 15 – 40 minutes with average time 22.5
minutes. The recovery time of control group were between 25 – 60 minutes with average time
37.5 minutes, p-value=0.000. Patients in exspriment group had shorter recovery time than
patients in control group. Murottal therapy can accelerate recovery time of post general
anesthetic patients. Conclusion: Further research is needed to prove the usage of murottal as
complementary therapy for post general anesthetic patient.
