Study Summary
Critically ill older adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at a higher risk to develop delirium, which predisposes them to longer lengths of ICU and hospital stay, increased in-patient mortality, and higher risk of new acquired cognitive impairment and dementia. Music listening is a non-pharmacological intervention that holds potential to decrease ICU delirium. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a seven-day slow-tempo music intervention on the primary outcome of delirium/coma free days among mechanically ventilated, critically ill older adults.
Primary Outcome
Days free of delirium and coma will be the primary outcome for the trial. Days free of delirium and coma are the number of days after randomization patient is alive free of delirium and not in coma during the seven-day study intervention phase.
Interventions
- OTHER Attention Control
- OTHER Slow Tempo Music
