Effects, Feasibility, and Safety of an Early Mobilization Protocol With Immersive Virtual Reality for Dyspnea in Patients With Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure: The MOVE Randomized Clinical Trial
Early mobilization with or without VR was feasible and safe in ICU patients with ADHF. VR did not significantly reduce dyspnea, but adherence challenges limited protocol completion. These findings suggest that early mobilization can be safely implemented in this population and that future studies should explore strategies to enhance adherence and evaluate the potential benefits of VR in larger cohorts.
