Summary
This study tests whether playing soft music or using a musical mobile can reduce pain and stress in infants when chest tubes are removed after heart surgery. Fifty-four babies aged 2 to 12 months will be randomly assigned to hear music, see a musical mobile, or receive standard care. Researchers will measure pain scores, heart rate, and oxygen levels to see if these calming interventions help.
