Intensive care unit patients who have to undergo central venous catheter insertion and are able to hear explanations and to gave consent, will be randomized to either usual care during catheter insertion or to a musical intervention added to usual care. The primary objective will be to assess the patient's anxiety just after catheter insertion. Secondary outcome measures will be the patient-reported pain, the duration of catheter insertion, and the need for additional anxiolytic or sedative drugs during catheter insertion.
