About

Bronchial fibroscopy is a frequently used procedure in the management of pneumology patients, and can be a source of anxiety, particularly while waiting for the examination.

Investigator's professional experience has shown us that many patients are anxious in the waiting room before a flexible bronchoscopy in vigile.

A great deal of research has been carried out into the use of virtual reality to reduce anxiety and pain during care but shortly before bronchoscopy. The innovative aspect is to target the patient's waiting time for the examination. Waiting is a highly anxiety-provoking time, and nurses play a vital role in supporting patients.
