While most studies in the medical literature that indicate "music" as an intervention may
recognize its impact and capacity to decrease pain perception, anxiety, and/or its role in
the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function in ICU patients, no identifiable studies
have implemented entrained live music therapy protocols into clinical trials. Music therapy
treatment is a non-pharmacological intervention that is individually tailored to the
patient's needs and focuses on the assessment and intervention of a specific music
application that is provided by a certified music therapist. Entrained music therapy focuses
on a dynamic interaction between the patient and music therapist in which the music therapist
attempts to promote relaxation and comfort through the patient's identified Song of Kin
(SOK). This study measures the effects of live music therapy entrained to the vital signs of
adult patients on duration of mechanical ventilation.

adult patients on duration of mechanical ventilation.
The study will include 178 adult patients on mechanical ventilation. These patients will be
randomly assigned to the music therapy group or control group and matched for diagnosis,
co-morbidities, age, and gender. The music therapy group will utilize a certified music
therapist to provide live music based on the patient's cultural preferences and entrainment.
The primary outcome is a reduction in mechanical ventilation hours of 35% compared to the
control group. Secondary outcomes include: Amount of sedation, Richmond Agitation-Sedation
Scale (RASS), delirium and pain score, ICU and hospital length of stay. The researchers
hypothesize that live entrained music therapy compared to control will result in a reduction
in the time of extubation, amount of sedation administered, ICU and hospital length of stay.
