9360055 Sabri This research addresses the human factors aspect of hospital patient monitoring systems and seeks the means of improvements through the application of ergonomics to the evaluation of intensive care units (ICU's). During Phase I, the intensive care patient monitoring system will be reviewed and analyzed in terms of human tasks and equipment monitoring functions and with respect to the equipment setup process, calibration and initialization of monitoring. A functional analysis of the overall patient care monitoring system will be performed to identify the needed ergonomic design improvements. These activities will be done in collaboration with hospital doctors and nurses who operate the equipment regularly. Ergonomic problems that result in human errors or excessive response time, whether in operating specific equipment or in management of the hospital patient monitoring systems, will be identified, classified, and prioritized. Overall recommendations regarding design changes and providing tools for human factor reviews and improvements will be made.

9360055 Sabri 这项研究涉及医院患者监护系统的人为因素方面，并寻求通过将人体工程学应用到重症监护病房 (ICU) 的评估来改进的方法。 在第一阶段，将从人工任务和设备监控功能以及设备设置过程、校准和监控初始化方面对重症监护患者监护系统进行审查和分析。 将对整个患者护理监测系统进行功能分析，以确定所需的人体工程学设计改进。 这些活动将与定期操作设备的医院医生和护士合作完成。 无论是在操作特定设备还是在医院患者监测系统的管理中，导致人为错误或响应时间过长的人体工程学问题都将被识别、分类和优先处理。 将提出有关设计变更和提供人为因素审查和改进工具的总体建议。
