Summary
This trial will compare the effects of live and recorded music listening on stress and pain biomarkers in children receiving mechanical ventilation in the pediatric intensive care unit.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 5-17 who are intubated and on mechanical ventilation in the PICU, expected to stay over 72 hours. It's not for kids whose caregiver can't communicate in English, those with bilateral deafness, musicogenic epilepsy, COVID-19 diagnosis, new traumatic brain injury or unlikely to survive their PICU stay.
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare how live and recorded music affect stress and pain indicators in ventilated children at the PICU. Each child will experience both interventions randomly during their stay to see which one works better.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves listening to music as an intervention, there are no direct medical side effects expected. However, individual responses to music may vary based on personal preferences and psychological state.
