INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Non-invasive ventilation makes it possible to avoid intubation and improve patients' quality of life. However, pain is associated with discomfort and could lead to failure of this technique. The aim of this study is to measure the effectiveness of music therapy on pain levels during non-invasive ventilation in critically ill children. To this end, a pain score (Face Legs Activity Cry Consolability FLACC) will be assessed by raters blinded to the randomization arm during NIV initiation. The FLACC score will be compared before and during implementation of NIV between two groups: a control group (without music therapy) and an experimental group (with music therapy).

Interventions
This procedure is carried out using headphones installed in the child's ears. The music will be activated if the child is in the Music group, and will not be activated but present if the child is not in the Music group. NIV implementation will begin after 10 min of listening. The listening period will continue until the nadir period (when the music is slowest, for maximum relaxation), until 10 min after the start of the NIV.
Non invasive ventilation is set up in several stages, with the help of at least two caregivers. The patient will be placed in a half-seated position or seated. Installation begins with the placement of the non invasive ventilation mask harness around the child's head, followed by the application of the mask to the face, held by a caregiver. Once the mask has been applied, ventilation is started by connecting the non invasive ventilation circuit to the mask. The harness is then tightened by the second caregiver.
