Music in Vein in the Intensive Care Unit

Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Units (ICU) that receive mechanical ventilation need high dose sedative and analgesic medication that may have side effects. Despite this, many of them also experience anxiety and added stress. Musical intervention is a useful non-pharmacological tool without adverse effects safe and easy to provide for patients with mechanical ventilation admitted to the Intensive Care Units. Its use reduces the use and dose of sedatives, reduces stress and environmental noise. It should be considered in the measures of control of anxiety and noise in the ICU. The objective of the study is to analyze whether the implementation of a musical intervention can be an effective non-pharmacological intervention in the therapy of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation admitted to an Intensive Care Unit of a High Complexity Hospital.
