Effect of VIrtual Reality Spectacles on the Management of Pain and Anxiety (LURVIDOC)

The insertion of an implantable catheter chamber (ICH) is indicated in the case of prolonged or repeated infusions, particularly when the products injected are toxic to the venous walls, as is the case with cancer chemotherapy.

The insertion of a ICH is carried out in the operating theatre, usually under local anaesthesia. Although this operation is potentially painful and stressful, the question of its perception by the patient has not yet been addressed, nor the relevance of using non-invasive devices to alleviate the pain felt by the patient.

Among the proposals, virtual reality glasses Bliss Solution would be likely to improve patient management when a ICH is performed under local anaesthesia in the operating theatre.

The evaluation will be made on the contribution of the use of the Bliss Solution virtual reality glasses in the management of pain during the installation of an ICH under local anesthesia in the operating room.
