Sensory deprivation is one of the common complications of coma patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a familiar voice to consciousness level in coma patients.
A total of 13 patients with traumatic coma (8 ≥ Glasgow's coma scale [GCS]) admitted in ICU ward were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. The experimental group was treated twice a daily each time 15 min with a familiar recorded MP3 sound for 2 weeks. The control group received only natural voices of environment. GCS applied to evaluate patients' level of consciousness.
Findings showed that duration to reach GCS = 15 was significantly shorter in the experimental group (χ(2) = 12/96, P < 0/001).
These findings imply that providing familiar auditory stimulation programs for coma patients in the ICU could be effective.
感觉剥夺是重症监护病房（ICU）昏迷患者常见的并发症之一。本研究旨在探讨熟悉的声音对昏迷患者意识水平的影响。
共有13例入住ICU病房的创伤性昏迷患者（格拉斯哥昏迷量表[GCS]评分≥8分）被随机分为对照组和实验组。实验组每天接受两次治疗，每次用熟悉的MP3录音声音刺激15分钟，持续2周。对照组仅接受环境中的自然声音。采用GCS评估患者的意识水平。
结果显示，实验组达到GCS = 15的时间明显更短（χ(2)= 12/96，P < 0/001）。
这些发现表明，为ICU中的昏迷患者提供熟悉的听觉刺激方案可能是有效的。
