Brief Summary
The EMPIRE study will assess the effect of music listening on patients in critical care. 30 patients from the Adult Intensive Care Unit (AICU) at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital will be recruited to undergo a single 40-minute session of supervised music listening. Before and after the session, patients will be asked to describe their pain and anxiety on a rating of 1-10, and the patient's level of agitation/sedation will also be measured. In addition, physiological data such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and level of sedation (bispectral index score) will be measured throughout the listening session. Finally, a 3-month follow-up interview will be conducted to assess the influence of the music on participants' experience of the Adult Intensive Care Unit.
