Özet

Critically ill patients frequently receive sedatives in order to treat agitation in the ICU; however, adverse outcomes are linked with long-term use. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effectiveness of music listening in facilitating sedation vacations. This study was conducted in neurotrauma ICUs where 50 adult critically ill patients were randomized into a music (n 1⁄4 25) or no music (n 1⁄4 25) group. The music group had a greater decline in heart rate (P 1⁄4 .042) but not in respiratory rate (P 1⁄4 .081) or systolic blood pressure (P 1⁄4 .653) when compared with the control group. There was no statistically significant change in sedation scores between groups (P 1⁄4 .567); however, patients in the music group were more likely to remain off sedation infusions (64% vs 52%). Music listening may be a cost-effective, nonpharmacological intervention to reduce agitation in critically ill patients.
