This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
When children in the intensive care unit are ready to have their breathing tube removed, this process can be stressful and scary—which sometimes makes them need to be reintubated. This study is testing whether listening to music during the tube removal can help children stay calmer and keep their heart rate and oxygen levels more stable.
Research in adults has shown that music can reduce anxiety and stress during breathing tube removal, but doctors don't yet know if it works the same way in children. This study aims to fill that gap and find new ways to help children through this scary but important procedure.

If you join this study, you will either receive standard care plus music therapy during your breathing tube removal, or standard care alone. Researchers will monitor your heart rate, oxygen level, and breathing rate closely for 5 minutes before, during, and 10 minutes after the tube is removed. The entire monitoring period takes about 20–25 minutes.
