Background Music therapy is a safe, non-pharmacological way to help reduce anxiety, especially before surgery. It helps to calm the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and offers comfort by blocking outside noise and distracting from pain. This can be helpful in managing preoperative anxiety and symptoms like hypertension and tachycardia.

Background: The ability of current depth-of-anaesthesia monitors to differentiate subtle changes in the conscious state has not been well characterised. We examine the variability in bispectral index (BIS) scores associated with disconnected conscious and unconscious states as confirmed by a novel serial awakening paradigm.
Methods: Seventy adult participants, given propofol or dexmedetomidine, had a cumulative 1381 electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings across two centres.

Background: Mode decomposition methods are used to extract the characteristic intrinsic mode function (IMF) from various multidimensional time series signals. We analyzed an electroencephalogram (EEG) dataset for sevoflurane anesthesia using two wavelet transform-based mode decomposition methods, comprising the empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and wavelet mode decomposition (WMD) methods, and compared the results with those from the previously reported variational mode decomposition (VMD) method.
Methods: To acquire the EEG data, we used the software application EEG Analyzer, which enabled the recording of raw EEG signals the serial interface of a bispectral index (BIS) monitor.

Introduction: Maintaining haemodynamic stability is crucial but challenging during the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia (GA) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Remimazolam tosylate is a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine with minimal cardiovascular depression. Currently, non-inferior studies comparing the haemodynamic changes induced by remimazolam and etomidate are limited.
