An acoustic sensor platform based method and apparatus provides for improved pain mitigation, apnea detection, aspiration detection and patient communication in anesthesia patients. The platform includes an acoustic sensor configured to be coupled to one of a nasal cannula or face mask of the anesthesia patient; a processer coupled to the acoustic sensor and configured to i) Detect patient speech and isolate and amplify the patient speech, and ii) Detect at least one of a breathing rate of the patient or aspiration of the patient; and an audio visual display coupled to the processor and providing an audio and/or visual display of the isolated and amplified speech of the patient, and displaying results for at least one of a breathing rate of the patient or aspiration of the patient.
