Music With Surgery - Why?

Why would you want music during surgery? As I travel the country talking to people about the importance of music during surgery, there is one question that arises again and again. The question is good: why would you want music during surgery, if you're going to be sleeping? A very logical question, and fortunately, the answer is very logical too.
For thousands of years people have known that music soothes, calms and comforts them. In ancient times it was the drumming and singing. At 21 century to the iPod and wireless headsets. Everyone had their favorite music for them, this is what will work best during the surgery. The fact is that when you're under anesthesia, but your subconscious mind will be the answer to the permanent slow pulse of the music.
Music during surgery is not about party, it is not about calming people, or even comforting. The whole point of using music during surgery to relax the body so that less anesthesia is needed. Secondly, when you have music coming through the headphones, the music enters the brain through the eighth cranial nerve and entrains or synchronizes the heartbeat and breathing pace with the music. more relaxed body, mind and spirit can be, less anesthesia person will need to effectively intoxicated.

For this reason, you want to choose music with the pace of healthy resting heart rate. We also want to choose music that is purely instrumental, ie nothing to do with the texts. The third and final reason for using music with head phones during the operation is to block comments and discuss the medical staff that could be negative or pessimistic, and affect you subconsciously. Many people do not have much advance notice that they need surgery and do not have time to select the perfect music.
