VIRTUAL DREAM: Pilot Study on the Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Virtual Reality Device on Anxiety During Procedural Sedation in Traumatology in Emergency Department
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of a reality device and a virtual hypnosis software to reduce the anxiety during reduction procedure in traumatology in an emergency department. These devices have recently been evaluated in the management of pain and anxiety in different specialties but never in the context of analgesia-sedation protocols in emergencies.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Difference in anxiety level [30 minutes]
Difference in anxiety level measured with a visual analog scale between T1 (before the analgesia-sedation procedure) and T4 (30 minutes after the procedure was performed, by asking the patient to rate the anxiety he or she felt during the procedure) during a technical procedure in traumatology in the emergency department in the VR group compared with the control group. The level of anxiety is measured with a visual analog scale (0: no anxiety, 10: maximum anxiety).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Difference in pain intensity [30 minutes]
The level of pain is measured with a visual analog scale (0: no pain, 10: maximum pain).
- Doses of analgesics [During the procedure]
Total doses of analgesics used during a technical procedure performed in the context of trauma in the experimental group compared with the control group.
- Occurrence of headache, nausea/vomiting, dizziness or confusional episode [During the procedure]
Tolerance assessed by looking for the occurrence of headache, nausea/vomiting, dizziness or confusional episode in both groups.
- Evaluation of satisfaction [30 minutes]
Comparison of the patient's level of satisfaction with pain and anxiety management between the two groups, assessed using a numerical scale ranging from 0 (not satisfied) to 10 (totally satisfied).
