Effects of Binaural Beats on Inhaled Anesthetic Requirements During General Anesthesia in Pediatric Patients
Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital
Summary
The hypothesis of this study is that continuously delivering binaural beats with a phase difference corresponding to the slow-delta frequency band during anesthesia in pediatric patients can clinically and significantly reduce the required dose of the commonly used inhalational anesthetic, sevoflurane. To test this hypothesis, the study will compare the average end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane between a group exposed to continuous binaural beats (approximately 1 Hz phase difference) during surgery and a control group not exposed to such auditory stimulation.

Application of Binarual Beat
The binaural beat audio file consists of pure tones at 431 Hz in the left ear and 432 Hz in the right ear, delivered via earphones continuously until the end of anesthesia.
