About

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effect of VR-based Family Support System (VRFS) on reducing delirium in ICU mechanically ventilated patients. The main question it aims to answer is:

·Using VRFS for participant intervention, can it reduce the incidence of delirium and improve clinical outcomes?

Researchers will investigate whether the implementation of VRFS can reduce the number of delirium days and improve clinical outcomes.

Participants will:

• Receive the VRFS intervention until the endotracheal tube (ETT) is removed.
• Have physiological data collected, including EEG, oxygen saturation levels, ECG, and blood pressure.
• Keep a diary of delirium, dosage of sedative and analgesic drugs, the duration of mechanical ventilation, and ICU stays.

Full description

During the VRFS interventions, researchers will fit participants with a VR headset and noise-canceling headphones, shielding them from the ICU environment while allowing family members to be present and offer companionship and comfort.

Enrollment: 102 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 90 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
