Few studies were interested in the patient satisfaction after ambulatory surgery. Most of them showed negative results due to psychological factors. The intervention including surgery and hospitalization is still perceived as painful memory for most of patients. Several improving axes have been explored to change global patient experience. One new idea could be to offer a virtual reality experience during the surgery or local regional anesthesia. Some studies showed that immersive experience can reduce the anxiety, the pain, improve the patient comfort and recovery after surgery. The virtual reality is commonly used but it has to be evaluated in terms of efficiency with a prospective study and objective outcomes to go further in the improvement of the experience and the care offer to patients.
The study is to compare the patient satisfaction between patients with virtual reality experience and patients without VR experience during the ambulatory orthopedic surgery under local regional anesthesia.
