Cesarean section is mainly performed using regional anesthesia, without preoperative sedatives, to facilitate the mother's conscious birth experience, reduce the need for neonatal resuscitation, and promote skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth between the mother and newborn. The VR can be designed to be an interacting and emotionally engaging environment that can stimulate emotionally related hormones. In stressful situations as CS, VR can generate a relaxation state that improves the surgery outcomes.
The application of VR varies widely according to the purpose of its use. It is widely used for medical education, pain relief, posttraumatic stress, gait rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease patients, anxiety, and stress.
