Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of virtual reality for anxiety treatment in mechanically ventilated patients.
Detailed description
Mechanically ventilated patients (those on a breathing machine) often experience heightened levels of anxiety and discomfort. This is usually treated by using sedative medications, however these drugs often have unintended side effects. This study will investigate the safety and feasibility of using relaxing virtual reality environments for reduction of anxiety in mechanically ventilated patients.
