Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are rapidly developing technologies that offer a wide range of applications and enable users to experience digitally rendered content in both physical and virtual space. Although the number of studies about the different use of VR and AR increases year by year, a systematic overview of the applications of these innovative technologies in intensive care medicine is lacking. The aim of this systematic review was to provide a detailed summary of how VR and AR are currently being used in various areas of intensive care medicine.
METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed until 1st March 2023 to identify the currently existing evidence for different applications of VR and AR for both health care providers in the intensive care unit and children or adults, who were in an intensive care unit because of a critical illness.
RESULTS: After screening the literature, a total of 59 studies were included. Of note, a substantial number of publications consists of case reports, study plans or are lacking a control group. Furthermore, study designs are seldom comparable. However, there have been a variety of use cases for VR and AR that researchers have explored. They can help intensive care unit (ICU) personnel train, plan, and perform difficult procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, vascular punctures, endotracheal intubation or percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy. Patients might benefit from VR during invasive interventions and ICU stay by alleviating stress or pain. Furthermore, it enables contact with relatives and can also assist patients in their rehabilitation programs.
CONCLUSIONS: Both, VR and AR, offer multiple possibilities to improve current care, both from the perspective of the healthcare professional and the patient. It can be assumed that VR and AR will develop further and their application in health care will increase.

摘要：
背景：虚拟现实（VR）和增强现实（AR）是快速发展的技术，它们提供了广泛的应用，并使用户能够在物理和虚拟空间中体验数字渲染的内容。尽管关于VR和AR不同使用的研究数量逐年增加，缺乏对这些创新技术在重症监护医学中应用的系统概述。本系统综述的目的是提供VR和AR目前如何在重症监护医学的各个领域使用的详细摘要。
方法：我们系统地搜索了PubMed，直到2023年3月1日，以确定目前存在的VR和AR对重症监护病房和儿童或成人的医疗保健提供者的不同应用的证据。因为严重的疾病而在重症监护病房。
结果：筛选文献后，共纳入59项研究.值得注意的是，大量出版物包括病例报告，研究计划或缺乏对照组。此外，研究设计很少有可比性。然而,研究人员已经探索了VR和AR的各种用例。他们可以帮助重症监护病房(ICU)人员培训，plan,并执行诸如心肺复苏之类的困难程序，血管穿刺,气管插管或经皮扩张气管切开术。在侵入性干预和ICU停留期间，患者可能会通过减轻压力或疼痛而受益于VR。此外，它可以与亲戚联系，还可以帮助患者进行康复计划。
结论：两者，VR和AR,提供多种可能性来改善当前的护理，从医疗保健专业人员和患者的角度来看。可以假设VR和AR将进一步发展，它们在医疗保健中的应用将会增加。
