Abstract

Doi: 10.5902/2179769213015 Objective: to investigate the changes generated on vital signs and level of consciousness with the application of musical intervention through hearing in sedated and non-sedated patients with head trauma, in an intensive care unit of a teaching hospital. Method: quasi-experimental quantitative pilot study. 10 patients participated, having received 20 sessions of musical intervention. For the processing of the data, the tests T-Student and ANOVA were used. The variables evaluated were: level of consciousness, respiratory and heart rate, blood pressure and temperature. Results: there were no significant changes in the variables measured. Parameter changes were observed through the averages. In the group of non-sedated patients, there was higher variability of the average. Conclusion: music can be used as a stimulus for hospitalized patients. It could be used as a therapeutic resource and provide a comprehensive, individualized and more humanized care.
