Depends on the degree of claustrophobia, but they generally give calming meds until they can sort out a more amenable treatment plan.
In order of severity:
- Calming medication, or surrounding screen(s) to give the illusion of open spaces
- Some variation of virtuality
- Keeping the drawer open so the patient can see a more open space [can be inconvenient if the ICU space for inspection and treatment is a little tight]
- Going to the extreme of having a bed.
It might be noted that space travel and claustrophobia don't always mix well, so it's a pretty rare circumstance.
...considering how Pax Humanis solve problems, the comparison is pretty apt.
