Human Factors Evaluation of an Interventional Trauma Operating Room Mock-up
2012
A state-of-the-art Interventional Trauma Operating Room (ITOR) combining the techniques of traditional surgery and interventional radiological procedures was designed to address major hemorrhage in the operating room. A Human Factors evaluation using video capture and patient simulation was conducted within a full scale mock-up environment to examine staff workflow and team integration to maximize the multi-user potential of the physical space and identify issues or barriers that would impact patient care during procedures. Recommended changes based on the evaluation included increasing the available space in the ITOR, re-organizing equipment to maximize workflow and relocating patient monitors for maximal visibility.
