evaluation of virtual reality to reduce anxiety, pain and duration of non-emergency vigile bronchial fibroscopy (avatar)

Conditions: Respiratory Disorder; Lung Infection

Summary: bronchial fibroscopy (bf) is a routine practice examination in critical care areas. it can be useful either for the diagnosis of the causal pathology of respiratory distress or for the diagnosis of lung infection, sometimes nosocomial. in patients in spontaneous and conscious ventilation, bf are performed vigil after local anesthesia according to the recommendations of the société de pneumologie de langue française. the good tolerance of the examination and its good conduct may require the use of anxiolytics, sedatives or analgesics to limit the traumatic experience of a highly anxiety-provoking examination. virtual reality (vr) combines a set of paramedical techniques (hypnosis, music therapy, sophrology) and is now a non-drug alternative to improve the tolerance of certain invasive gestures.vr has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety during first pathways placement or digestive endoscopies. to date, there is no evidence of the benefit of vr when performing semi-urgent bf in critical care areas.

bronchial fibroscopy (bf) is an invasive examination mainly performed in vigilant patients under local anesthesia very regularly performed in patients hospitalized in critical care. despite local anesthesia, and paradoxically also because of local anesthesia that makes the airflow in the upper airway imperceptible, bf is an anxiety-provoking and sometimes uncomfortable examination. drug options are offered by physicians on a case-by-case basis and in response to patients' discomfort or anxiety. we believe that a preventive, non-drug strategy would improve comfort, reduce anxiety and improve patients' experience during bf. to reduce anxiety and improve patient comfort, there are non-drug alternatives such as hypnosis, music therapy or virtual reality. hypnosis requires the availability of previously trained caregivers and a calm environment. music therapy is difficult to apply in is because of pre-existing noise pollution. we hypothesize that virtual reality would reduce patient anxiety during a bronchial fibroscopy in bed in critical care, improve the patient and caregiver experience and optimize its realization. virtual reality (vr) is a technology that allows the patient to be projected, via a computer system, into an immersive virtual world. the patient's immersion in the virtual environment is accompanied by the feeling of "presence" which can be defined as the authentic feeling of existing in a world other than the one where the body is physically located.this specificity, coupled with the ability to isolate the patient's visual and auditory field, make this tool a promising solution to improve the well-being of patients during the care offer. vr is distributed by a set of devices to digitally simulate an environment mobilizing the different senses of its user: sight most often but possibly also touch, hearing or smell. vr, most often distributed via video and audio headset, is a complete immersive experience that can bring together hypnotic scenario and music therapy. healthy mind® has designed a vr headset to relieve pain and anxiety in patients in healthcare facilities in a non-drug way. indeed, this helmet has been developed to exercise analgesic and anxiolytic actions through specific virtual environments by combining different principles such as medical hypnosis, music therapy, light therapy and cardiac coherence. the proposed immersion themes combined with breathing exercises in the initial phase, generate better stress management.
