This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset—which shows calming scenes like nature—can help reduce anxiety, agitation, and confusion in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if VR can help patients feel more comfortable during their recovery.
This study tests an AI-powered nursing tool that helps ICU staff prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in patients. If you are at high risk for delirium, the tool may help keep you more comfortable and reduce the chance of confusion during your ICU 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.
This study tests a virtual reality program that uses calming sights and sounds to help prevent delirium (a state of confusion) in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help keep your mind clear during your stay.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help older adults recover their thinking and memory after a serious illness and confusion in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, spent time on a breathing machine, and had delirium in the ICU.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) activities can reduce delirium—new, sudden confusion—in people staying in the ICU. It may help patients feel clearer and more oriented during a longer ICU stay.
