Popis: Background: Music is widely used to help a patient relax, and divert their attention from unpleasant and stressful situations. In addition, it eliminates the noise in the operating room. A light level of general anesthesia for a cesarean section is usually applied to the mother to improve the fetal safety. Therefore, there is an increased incidence of maternal explicit and implicit memory with the bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. Methods: Fifty patients undergoing a cesarean section under general anesthesia were allocated randomly to either a control group(group 1) or a music group (group 2). Patients in group 2 listened to music with a headphone during the procedure. The blood pressure, heart rate, intraoperative awareness, postoperative explicit and implicit memory and the plasma cortisol level were assessed. Results: The systolic blood pressure and heart rate were significantly lower in group 2 than group 1 at 1 minute before intubation and 5 minutes after extubation (P 0.7) than in group 1 (1.6 0.4) (P
