REALIDADE VIRTUAL NA UNIDADE DE TERAPIA INTENSIVA: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) consists of the interaction of the virtual environment between man and machine, through computational systems with sensorimotor channels, which makes it possible to achieve functional and cognitive gains. Objective: to identify the use of VR in the intensive care unit (ICU), pointing out the factors and contributions of the use of VR in rehabilitation. Methodology: this is an integrative review in databases: Latin American and Caribbean Center for Health Sciences Information (BIREME), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Online Medical Literature Search and Analysis System (MEDLINE). Results: studies showed positive effects of using VR in the ICU, including: increased physical activity, relaxing effect, reduction of suffering and pain. It has been demonstrated that the method is safe and is even indicated for critically ill patients. Conclusion: using VR in the ICU is safe and contributes positively to the rehabilitation of patients.
