Ergo­no­mics in the OR

OP

Sterile work in the opera­ting room is a critical factor for the success of surgical proce­dures. This rese­arch project analyzes sterile work processes in the OR from an ergo­nomic point of view.

It aimed to iden­tify starting points for impro­ving the usabi­lity of surgical products and thereby incre­asing patient safety. In addi­tion, new insights were gained for a system ergo­nomic design of the surgical nursing service and new methods of parti­ci­pa­tory ergo­no­mics in design and the incor­po­ra­tion of implicit proce­dural know­ledge content from users were developed.
