Listen to a Audio Book

This study investigates how listening to audiobooks affects agitation scores and respiratory parameters (like breathing rate, depth, and oxygen saturation) in patients receiving non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) for hypercapnic respiratory failure in an intensive care unit. Participants will listen to an audiobook of their choice during their 2-hour NIMV treatment. Their agitation levels and respiratory parameters will be measured before, during, and after NIMV application. The goal is to evaluate whether audiobooks can reduce patient agitation and improve respiratory outcomes, offering a low-cost, easy-to-use, and effective approach for better patient care.
