About this study
Official title: Immersive Sensory Projections: Evaluating the Impact of an Immersive Sensory Environment (Visual, Auditory and Olfactory) on Reducing the Overall Discomfort of Patients Hospitalized in the Resuscitation and Continuing Care Units
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of adding three sensory elements (visual, auditory, olfactory) on reducing discomfort in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit/continuing care unit.
Read the detailed description
The IHP trial is multicenter, interventional, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label study.
The study population consists of adult patients hospitalized in an intensive care or continuing care unit for medical or surgical reasons, conscious or unconscious under mechanical ventilation.
All patients participating in the study will be managed according to usual practices in intensive care and continuing care units. All patients and their relatives will be monitored and supported by the medical team as in normal practice.
The study will be offered to the patient or a close relative/trusted person on admission to hospital.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unitProcedure or surgery
Hospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unit for medical reasons or surgery, conscious or unconscious under mechanical ventilation. Resuscitation patients are then cared for in a continuing care unit.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Immersive sensory projections | Experimental | Patients will benefit from an immersive sensory environment in the hospital room. This IHP immersive sensory environment consists of the following elements:
* light frescoes on the theme of nature, of the canopy type, diffused by a generative circadian cycle.
* a soundtrack made up of nature sounds and sounds of life outside the hospital, broadcast in an immersive (moving sounds in the room), random (non-repetitive sounds over time) and generative way.
* essential oils Receives: Procedure: Hospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unit |
| No immersive sensory projections | Active comparator | Standard (control) group: Patients will not have any Immersion Health Project-type immersive sensory projection in the hospital room. Receives: Procedure: Hospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unit |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
REAnimation Patient Discomfort Questionnaire
