Virtual reality for ICU patient satisfaction and recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (wearing a headset to see calming scenes) helps people in the ICU feel better, recover faster, and be more satisfied with their care. It is for awake and stable ICU patients who can follow simple instructions.

This study tests if using virtual reality can help you feel more comfortable while recovering in the intensive care unit (ICU) after major surgery. If you are having heart or major abdominal surgery and will stay in the ICU for at least 2 days, you may be able to try a VR program to see if it eases your stay.
This study tests if using a virtual reality headset can help lower anxiety for people in the intensive care unit. If you are awake and calm enough, using VR might provide a relaxing distraction during your stay.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) in the ICU can help prevent confusion (delirium) in patients. If you are in the surgical ICU at Cedars-Sinai and are expected to stay more than 2 days, you might be able to participate.
