Brief Summary:
D.R.E.A.M.S. will assess an immersive digital reality-augmenting system in reducing the occurrence of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional consequences of critical illness and environmental exposures that are risk factors for the development of delirium.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Delirium Device: Technology based guided meditation and relaxation Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The purpose of Digital Rehabilitation Environment Augmenting Medical System (D.R.E.A.M.S.) is to research the feasibility and clinical potential of an immersive digital reality-augmenting system in reducing the occurrence of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional consequences of critical illness (e.g. pain, anxiety and insomnia) and environmental exposures (noise & light) that are risk factors for the development of delirium, a common and devastating complication in the intensive care unit (ICU).

 Device: Technology based guided meditation and relaxation
Subjects will be guided through a mediation and relaxation exercise on a tablet or virtual reality headset for up to an hour each day.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessment of anxiety measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire [ Time Frame: Immediately before and after each intervention Up to 7 days ]
    The assessment is used to gauge the subject's level of anxiety and depression 0-7 = Normal 8-10 = Borderline abnormal (borderline case) 11-21 = Abnormal (case)

  2. Blood Pressure -Systolic [ Time Frame: Immediately before and after each intervention up to 7 days ]
    Alterations to vital signs allow for Non-Verbal Pain assessments

  3. Heart Rate [ Time Frame: Immediately before and after each intervention up to 7 days ]
    Alterations to vital signs allow for Non-Verbal Pain assessments


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Respiratory Rate [ Time Frame: Entire ICU stay up to 7 days ]
    Alterations to vital signs allow for Non-Verbal Pain assessments

  2. Patient pain perception [ Time Frame: Immediately before and after each intervention up to 7 days ]
    Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS) Likert Scale 0 - 10, with 10 = severe pain (as bad as it could be. nothing else matters)

  3. Amount of sedatives requested by subjects [ Time Frame: Entire ICU stay up to 7 days ]
    Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS)- Patients with a RASS of -3 or less should have their sedation decreased or modified in order to achieve a RASS of -2 to 0. Patients with a RASS of 2 to 4 are not sedated enough and should be assessed for pain, anxiety, or delirium. The underlying etiology of the agitation should be investigated and appropriately treated to achieve a RASS of -2 to 0.

  4. Amount of sedatives subjects receive [ Time Frame: Entire ICU stay up to 7 days ]
    Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS)- Patients with a RASS of -3 or less should have their sedation decreased or modified in order to achieve a RASS of -2 to 0. Patients with a RASS of 2 to 4 are not sedated enough and should be assessed for pain, anxiety, or delirium. The underlying etiology of the agitation should be investigated and appropriately treated to achieve a RASS of -2 to 0.

  5. Subject's quality of sleep [ Time Frame: Daily up to 14 days ]
    Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) five-item, visual analogue scale was designed as an outcome measure for assessing the perception of sleep in critically ill patients. The scale evaluates perceptions of depth of sleep, sleep onset latency, number of awakenings, time spent awake, and overall sleep quality.

  6. DREAMS usability and acceptability questionnaire [ Time Frame: After each intervention up to 14 days ]
    A qualitative assessment of the usability and efficacy of the system Likert Scale 1-5, with 5 = strongly disagree.
