Music Use for Sedation in Critically ill Children (MUSiCC trial): a pilot randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To demonstrate feasibility of a music medicine intervention trial in pediatric intensive care and to obtain information on sedation and analgesia dose variation to plan a larger trial.

Material and methods

Pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted at the Stollery Children's Hospital general and cardiac intensive care units (PICU/PCICU). The study included children 1 month to 16 years of age on mechanical ventilation and receiving sedation drugs. Patients were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to music, noise cancellation or control. The music group received classical music for 30 min three times/day using headphones. The noise cancellation group received the same intervention but with no music. The control group received usual care.
