The effect of listening to music during continuous positive airway pressure on agitation levels and compliance of intensive care patients with COVID-19: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Agitation and incompliance with the treatment may be observed in patients undergoing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which may cause inadequate oxygenation, sedation, termination of CPAP or intubation of the patient.

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of listening to music during CPAP on the agitation levels of intensive care patients who underwent CPAP as a result of COVID-19 and their compliance with the treatment.

Study Design: This study was a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial.
