In intensive care units music intervention is used to improve patients’ mental and physical condition. It has been demonstrated, through several clinical studies, that ICU patients who receive music intervention, experience reduced anxiety, stress and pain and thus are better able to handle their situation. Moreover, in several cases, both lower heart rate and respiratory rate can be measured.
For intensive care units it is recommended that a music intervention be permanently installed in the ceiling above the patient’s bed. When the patient is in an intensive mode, it is important to keep focus on the treatment. With ceiling mounted equipment, music intervention is always ready for use with a single touch.
