Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subjective Experiential Outcome After ICU AdmissionOnce, up to 3 days after transfer out of the Intensive Care Unit.

Survey questions to understand patient's subjective experience in the intensive care unit. The number of subjects who completed the survey.

Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU)Once, during ICU admission within 24 hours of ICU admission.

Number of Participants with one or more Positive Confusion Assessment. "Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU" - Establishes ability to detect delirium in high-risk settings such as the intensive care unit. Recorded during every scheduled patient assessment by nurse and with mental changes. Reports as "Positive" or "Negative" with response to different assessments regarding level of consciousness, acute onset or fluctuating course of mental status and inattention.

Subjective Experiential Outcome After ICU SimulationOnce, immediately following the virtual reality ICU simulation session.

Survey questions to understand patient's subjective experience during the virtual reality ICU simulation session. Internally created survey. The number of subjects who completed the survey.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Duration of ICU AdmissionDuring ICU admission; average 2 days

Number of hours in the intensive care unit measured in the electronic health record from admission time to the ICU to discharge time from the ICU.

Duration of Intravenous Sedation in the ICUDuring ICU admission; average 2 days

Number of hours of intravenous sedation in the ICU measured through the medication administration record via the electronic healthcare record.

Duration of Mechanical Ventilation in the ICUDuring ICU admission; average 2 days

Number of hours of mechanical ventilation in the ICU measured via the electronic healthcare record with data imported into the electronic healthcare record directly from the mechanical ventilator.

Use of Anti-psychotic MedicationsThroughout ICU admission; average of 5 days

Number of antipsychotic medication administrations in the ICU measured through the medication administration record via the electronic healthcare record.

Cardiopulmonary BypassDuring OR case; average 12 hours

Number of hours of use of cardiopulmonary bypass in the operating room via record from the cardiopulmonary bypass perfusionist in the operating room imported into the electronic healthcare record.
