What We Offer

The American population receives local and general anesthesia with great frequency.   Many people assume that the process is entirely safe. The truth is that problems associated with anesthesia range from frequent headaches, nausea and vomiting, to systemic toxicity, to death (estimated 5 per million)

[1]. With roughly 40 million people receiving some form of anesthesia per year in the United States alone, this mortality rate may seem high. However, when compared to the 1 death per 10,000 administrations that occurred in the 1950sand 1960s, it is obvious that the science of anesthesiology has made great strides.

These strides have allowed the average person to fear the blade or the condition requiring anesthesia much more than the sedative drug itself. However, the problem is that even with the marked advancement of the science, anesthesiology ranks 7th of all medical specialties in terms of indemnities paid. An average of 34% of all claims made against anesthesiologists close, with a staggering $362,000 indemnity paid per physician[2].

We offer a simple, natural technique that you can use to reduce or eliminate the pain and side effects of surgery – and recover in less time.

Understanding the Process of Rhythmic Entrainment

Surgical Serenity Solutions has created a process to harness the power of rhythmic entrainmentRhythmic entrainment is a process that synchronizes one rhythmic pulse to another nearby rhythmic pulse.  In this case, we are using specially and scientifically chosen music to stabilize a person’s mood and create a state of relaxation.

Our patented process for choosing the ideal music for a patient having surgery puts purely instrumental music, that already has the tempo of the healthy resting heartbeat, onto lightweight, cordless pre-loaded headphones.  Our music is already waiting for the patient on the headphones.

Here is a sample of our music, as Dr. Cash presents it to an International Symposium for Music Medicine a few years ago:

Prior to surgery, patients are often filled with anxiety, fear, and a plethora of “what-ifs!”  The concept of putting slow, steady, purely instrumental music directly into the patient’s ears, through the 8th cranial nerve, works beautifully for engaging rhythmic entrainment.  When patients listen to our playlists, their heart-rate and breathing quickly synchronize to the tempo of the music.  They calm down and stay relaxed through the surgery and into the recovery room.

The benefit is that when patients are naturally relaxed through the process of rhythmic entrainment, they typically require less anxiety medication and experience decreased pain perception.  This is the reason that Surgical Serenity Solutions is successful in naturally calming the body and mind of a patient having surgery or other medical procedures.
