Overview

Quasi-experimental study reveals improved vital signs and oxygen saturation in mechanically ventilated patients, indicating music therapy supports intensive care recovery.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effect of Carnatic music therapy (Raga Ananda Bhairavi) on physiological parameters in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.
  • Conducted a single-group quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test study among 50 adult mechanically ventilated patients selected via purposive sampling in an intensive care unit.
  • Delivered recorded Carnatic classical music (Raga Ananda Bhairavi) through headphones for 15 minutes twice daily over 3 consecutive days.
  • Measured vital parameters including body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and oxygen saturation before and after intervention.
  • Demonstrated significant reductions in body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure, along with improved oxygen saturation (p < 0.001 for all).
  • Identified statistically significant associations between body temperature and educational status (p = 0.008), as well as diastolic blood pressure and residential area (p = 0.0049).
