VRFS: Participants wear VR headsets and experience immersive virtual environments, where their family members will be present and offer companionship and comfort.
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effect of Virtual Reality Family Support System (VRFS) on reducing delirium in ICU mechanically ventilated patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
·Using VRFS for participant intervention, can it reduce the incidence of delirium and improve clinical outcomes?
Researchers will investigate whether the implementation of VRFS can reduce the number of delirium days and improve clinical outcomes.
Participants will:
* Receive the VRFS intervention until the endotracheal tube (ETT) is removed.
* Have physiological data collected, including EEG, oxygen saturation levels, ECG, and blood pressure.
* Keep a diary of delirium, dosage of sedative and analgesic drugs, the duration of mechanical ventilation, and ICU stays.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Delirium Day — Twice daily from Day 1 through ICU discharge, an average of 7 days. Delirium is monitored and evaluated by the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU). The CAM-ICU has four items ((1) altered mental status/fluctuating course, (2)inattention, (3) altered level of consciousness, and (4) disorganized thinking) and each item has two factors (positive or negative). The physicians can diagnose the patients with delirium when the results of item (1), item (2), and item (3) or item (4) are positive.
