Now the surgical suite will be safer for surgeries and medical procedures of all kinds because of a Kentucky entrepreneur's patented invention. Dr. Alice H. Cash of Louisville has been a lifelong musician and therapist and was fascinated by surgeons use of music in the operating room. Dr. Cash wondered if music could not also be beneficial for the patient, even though the patient is under anesthesia. The result: wireless, preprogrammed headphones that play music that capitalizes on the principle of "rhythmic entrainment" a well-known and established scientific phenomenon.

Research has been conducted around the world that documents the benefits of music during surgery for the patient. Benefits include less anxiety medication needed, less anesthesia needed and less pain medication needed. Considering that anesthesia is one of the things that patients must recover from, these headphones will save lives by decreasing the amount of anesthesia needed and creating a safer surgical experience.

The wireless headphones are rechargeable and programmable with the patient's preferred type of music. Dr. Cash is in the early stages of production but they can be ordered online now. Eventually they will be marketed primarily to hospitals so that all patients can have access to the safest possible tools and methods for their surgeries.
