Objective To explore the effect of five element music therapy combined with early graded rehabilitation training in the prevention of delirium in ICU. Methods Select 200 patients from the comprehensive and specialized ICU of a tertiary hospital from January 2024 to December 2024, and randomly divide them into a control group (n=100, receiving routine care) and an observation group (n=100, receiving five element music therapy combined with early graded rehabilitation training). Compare the occurrence of delirium, agitation sedation score, muscle strength, pain, hospital stay, and cost between two groups. Results The observation group had lower CAM-ICU, VAS scores, length of hospital stay, and costs compared to the control group, RASS、 The muscle strength score was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of Five Elements music therapy and early graded rehabilitation training can effectively improve the condition of ICU patients, shorten hospitalization time, reduce the incidence of delirium, and promote patient recovery.
