The investigators propose to determine whether listening to classical music during a sedation procedure decreases the need for procedural sedation medication. It is a two arm study comparing music vs no music by headphones so that the investigator is blinded to the intervention. The outcome variable is amount of sedative used and self-reported anxiety level as reported on a 10 point visual analogue scale (VAS). The music intervention is begun 1 minute prior to the sedation procedure and continued until the subject is completely awake. Demographics will be collected for all patients. No identifiers are collected. Data will be compared for a change in VAS variable using non parametric methods.
