This comparative analysis examined the cost–effectiveness of music therapy as a procedural
support in the pediatric healthcare setting. Many healthcare organizations are actively
attempting to reduce the amount of sedation for pediatric patients undergoing various
procedures. Patients receiving music therapy-assisted computerized tomography scans
(n = 57), echocardiograms (n = 92), and other procedures (n = 17) were included in the analysis. Results of music therapy-assisted procedures
indicate successful elimination of patient sedation, reduction in procedural times,
and decrease in the number of staff members present for procedures. Implications for
nurses and music therapists in the healthcare setting are discussed.
