Abstract:
As early mobilization of patients in the intensive care unit(ICU)is increasingly recognized as a key measure for improving patient prognosis and reducing complications,related research is increasing.However,conventional early mobilization methods are often limited by factors such as patient condition,nursing resources,and environmental factors,making it difficult to achieve optimal results.In recent years,virtual reality(VR)technology,owing to its unique immersion and interactive features,has emerged as a focus of research in the field of ICU patient rehabilitation.This review summarizes the advances in the application of VR technology in the early mobilization of ICU patients,focusing on its advantages over traditional methods,specific implementation approaches,clinical outcomes,and challenges encountered during application.By synthesizing existing evidence,this review aims to provide valuable references for clinical practice and to explore future directions for VR technology in ICU rehabilitation,with the goal of promoting its widespread application in the early mobilization of critically ill patients.
