Prolonged stays in the intensive care unit (ICU) cause difficulties in rehabilitation and other disorders for patients. This problem is exacerbated in the case of pediatric patients. The use of virtual reality can help with the lack of external stimuli and contribute as potential nonpharmacological therapies in some patient rehabilitation processes. To this end, we have developed a virtual reality application for use in the pediatric ICU as a tool for the treatment and rehabilitation of delirium. The tool consists of two applications: an immersive environment for a virtual reality headset used by the patient, and a web application managed by a therapist with which they can customize, control, adapt, and analyze in real time everything that happens in the patient's virtual world. Our application has been designed jointly with a university center and a hospital, and initial evaluations indicate the results to be promising.
长时间呆在重症监护病房（ICU）会给患者的康复和其他方面带来困难。儿科患者的情况则更为严重。虚拟现实的应用可以帮助解决缺乏外部刺激的问题，并为某些患者的康复过程提供潜在的非药物治疗方法。为此，我们开发了一种虚拟现实应用程序，用于儿科 ICU，作为治疗和康复谵妄的工具。该工具包括两个应用程序：一个是供患者使用的虚拟现实头戴设备的沉浸式环境，另一个是由治疗师管理的网络应用程序，他们可以使用该程序实时定制、控制、适应和分析患者虚拟世界中的一切。我们的应用程序是与一个大学中心和一家医院共同设计的，初步评估表明结果很有前景。
