Summary

Weakness of respiratory muscles delays weaning from the ventilator, prolongs hospital stay and increases treatment costs. Conventional treatments for respiratory muscles reverse these negative effects. İntensive care services are a set of services that have a very important place in public health care due to the vital support and they provide to all critically ill patients. This care services are constantly improving with the use of technological innovations. With the development of technology, virtual reality application has begun to be used therapeutically in the field of physiotherapy. Virtual reality is the combination of reality and imagination with fictions created using technology. Today, developers can surprisingly create realistic worlds filled with artificial intelligence that behaves believably. Studies have shown positive effects of virtual reality on acute respiratory frequency, pain and fatigue, and in light of this, it was predicted that it would be beneficial to apply to intensive care patients. This study will shed light on the rehabilitation of patients in intensive care and contribute to the literature.
