The effect of music therapy on physiological signs of anxiety in patients receiving mechanical ventilatory support

Abstract

As indicated by the results of this study, music therapy can be supplied to allay anxiety in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Nurses may include music therapy in the routine care of patients receiving mechanical ventilation.

Music as Medicine: The Therapeutic Potential of Music for Acute Stroke Patients

“…27 Music has been associated with decreased anxiety, pain, and agitation in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. 3,5,7,[27][28][29][30] However, few studies have examined music intervention for patients with acute stroke in critical care.…”

“…19,20 Music reduces postoperative pain, agitation, and narcotic requirements for critically ill cardiovascular and medical-surgical patients. [21][22][23][24][25][26] Although playing music has been associated with lower anxiety, pain, and agitation in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, 3,5,7,[27][28][29][30] few studies have addressed the effect of music on patients with acute stroke in critical care. [31][32][33] The goal of this review is to explore the utility of music intervention as a means to influence outcomes in acute stroke patients.…”

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Music is often employed as an ambient or adjunct tool during medical procedures and for chronic pain management. However, no consensus has been reported regarding protocols for listening to music, its effectiveness in certain procedures, and which type of music is most effective.…”

Introduction of Music Therapy for Stuporous Patient Attached to a Mechanical Ventilator at Bethany Hospital in Tacloban City, Philippines

“…On the case of central findings in the patients' systolic blood pressure after music therapy, it reached the normal blood pressure compared with the higher blood pressure before the music therapy, as well as the diastolic blood pressure. This result is worth noting since previous study conducted discovered that the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation in blood measured by pulse oxymetry of patients become normal after they received 60 minutes of classical music songs [12].Another studies affirms that listening to music consistently reduced heart rate and respiratory rate, suggesting a relaxation response in mechanically ventilated patients, however it contradicts to the previous study that listening music improved oxygen saturation level [7]. An improvement has shown in relation to the number of days the patients are able to recover after the music therapy has been attached to the mechanical ventilator.…”

Music therapy as an adjuvant therapeutic tool in medical practice: an evidence-based summary

“…Previous studies in pulmonology have explored the ability of music to improve patient care primarily during mechanical ventilation and interventional procedures such as bronchoscopy 23,29,39 . A randomised trial of 60 patients aged 18 years to 70 years, requiring mechanical ventilation, demonstrated that a 60-minute session of classical music via headphones caused significant reductions in systolic (p = 0.024) and diastolic (p = 0.016) blood pressure, respiratory rate (p = 0.043) and significant differences in heart rate over time (p = 0.024), but no significant differences were observed in blood oxygen saturation 23 …”
