[Therapeutic effects of music on preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units].
The hospital care of premature and low-birth infants requires expensive technology and experienced care. Many studies have looked at the institution of developmental care in the NICU. Significant increases in oxygen saturation as well as decreased levels of agitation and heart rate were found with the use of music. Other studies have shown a doubled daily weight gain when premature babies in the NICU were exposed to music therapy.
