the rare occasion when something went wrong, the circulating nurse
(and defacto room DJ) had to first realize the patient was in trouble
and then rush to turn down the music. General surgeon Alistair
MacDonald, MD, has been in ORs that needed to get really quiet, real-
ly quickly. That's why he created the CanaryBox, which interfaces
with the anesthesia monitor and a music source, and automatically
turns down the tunes if the patient's heart rate, oxygen saturation or
non-invasive blood pressure reach concerning levels. The device is
compatible with the anesthesia monitors of many leading manufactur-
ers. It also accepts a standard audio input, so your personal devices can
serve as a music source, and has a standard audio output jack.
