Music to help sedate adults on a breathing machine
This trial looks at whether listening to music can help make “pharmacological sedation” (medicine to help you relax/sleep) easier or more comfortable for adults in the ICU who are on a ventilator (breathing machine). It may help improve comfort during critical care treatment.
