Study of the Benefits of Virtual Reality Headsets for Reducing Anxiety in Patients Treated for Pleural Effusion or Pneumothorax Using Small-bore Chest Drainage Tubes
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice
Summary
Pleural effusion and pneumothorax are common conditions encountered in pulmonology departments and may require chest drainage. However, the chest drainage procedure can cause anxiety in patients, leading to discomfort during the procedure. The use of virtual reality (VR) for anxiety reduction has shown promising results in various medical contexts.
