Summary

This study tests whether listening to music through headphones can lower the amount of sedative drugs needed by ICU patients on breathing machines. One hundred adults will be randomly assigned to hear music selected by a therapist or no music for one hour twice a day. Researchers will track heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, and sedative doses to see if music helps calm patients naturally.
