This article will provide the reader with an overview of ergonomic issues relevant to the operating room environment. Minimally invasive surgical technologies have increased the therapeutic value of surgical procedures by allowing operations to be performed with less trauma to the patient. At the same time, the surgical team-and particularly the surgeon-have been further removed from direct interaction with the patient's tissues. A scientific and ergonomic approach to the analysis of the operating room environment and the performance and workload characteristics of members of the modern surgical team can provide a rational basis for maximizing the efficiency and safety of our increasingly technology-dependent surgical procedures.
本文将向读者概述与手术室环境相关的人体工程学问题。微创外科技术通过减少对患者的创伤来提高手术治疗价值。与此同时，手术团队——尤其是外科医生——与患者组织的直接接触进一步减少。采用科学的人体工程学方法来分析手术室环境以及现代手术团队成员的工作表现和工作量特征，可为提高我们日益依赖技术的手术程序的效率和安全性提供合理依据。
