Summary
This study looks at whether playing calming music to children aged 10 to 16 before orthopedic surgery can lower their stress. Kids wear noise-cancelling headphones playing preselected music from just before anesthesia starts until they are asleep. The researchers measure changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing to see if the music helps them relax.
