Overview
The virtual reality mask is a tool likely to improve the conditions for performing awake
- surgery
-
- by improving tolerance for the patient,
- by improving ergonomics in the operating room.
In order to control the risks as well as possible, the investigators propose to test the equipment on patients who will undergo orthopedic surgery under local anesthesia at the hospital of Brest: the patients operated in orthopedics under local anesthesia are immobile during the procedure. This target population will allow an immersion of the equipment in the operating room, with an awake patient, during a short time (on average 1 hour of intervention) and for a technically light interventional procedure.
