The Effect of Binaural Sound on the Occurrence of Emergence Delirium in Children Undergoing Strabismus Surgery

The Effect of Binaural Sound on the Occurrence of Emergence Delirium in Children Undergoing Strabismus Surgery

The hypothesis of this study is that providing continuous binaural beats with a phase difference in alpha frequency during anesthesia can reduce the incidence of emergence agitation in pediatric patients. To test this hypothesis, the occurrence of emergence agitation will be compared between the group that received binaural beats and the group that did not receive binaural beats.
