Summary
This study looked at whether listening to slow-tempo music for seven days could help older adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) avoid delirium—a state of confusion that can lead to longer hospital stays and memory problems. Researchers enrolled 160 patients aged 50 and older who were on breathing machines. They compared those who listened to music with those who did not, measuring days free of delirium and coma. The goal was to find a simple, drug-free way to improve recovery.
