What this trial studies

This study investigates whether music therapy can decrease the need for pharmacological sedation in adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the ICU. Participants will listen to music selected by a music therapist through headphones for two hours each day over two days. The study will monitor various physiological parameters, including heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, as well as the amount of sedation administered. A total of 100 patients will be randomly assigned to either receive music or not during their treatment.
