No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate patients with decompensated heart failure undergoing an early mobilization protocol with the use of immersive virtual reality glasses compared with patients undergoing the same protocol but without immersive virtual reality. The primary outcome will be the sensation of difficulty breathing, and the secondary outcome will be whether this technology provided a positive experience for patients in the intervention group that was superior to that of patients in the control group.

Conditions

  • Decompensated Heart Failure

Interventions

DEVICE

Immersive Virtual Reality glasses

The immersive virtual reality glasses support a smartphone device, allowing videos to be used with 360º rotation and earpods headphones with bluetooth for sound. Video options will be offered to participants according to the exercise performed, ie: a cycling video for activities with a cycle ergometer; video with people walking for ambulation; and videos of the patient's choice, such as forest, beach or city scenarios, for other moments.

OTHER

early mobilization protocol

Three days of an early mobilization protocol. The exercises will be progressed every day, starting in the first day with active movements of lower and upper limbs with cycle ergometer; in the second day repeat the first day exercise and do orthostasis training; and in the last day training ambulation.
