The objective for this study was to address the lack of information regarding the working conditions in the operating room (OR). Safety issues in the OR need to be discussed not only for the sake of patients, but also for personnel, as hazards may occur for all persons within the OR.
To evaluate the workplace conditions in the operating room, a survey was conducted among surgeons working in German hospitals. Sixty questions were asked regarding the personal profile, the architectural situation, the devices and instruments as well as working posture and associated pain.
The survey showed elementary ergonomic deficiencies within all fields. Surgeons stated that these deficiencies lead to potential hazards for patients and personnel, potentially on a frequent basis. 97% of the surveyed surgeons see ergonomic improvement in the operating room as necessary.
The survey results display a high potential for improvement within all fields. Therefore, industry, surgeons and their professional organizations are asked to work on the optimization of the workplace conditions in the operating room in terms of improvement of quality and efficiency.
本研究的目的是解决手术室工作条件相关信息匮乏的问题。手术室的安全问题不仅需要为患者考虑，也需要为工作人员考虑，因为手术室中的所有人都可能面临危险。
为评估手术室的工作场所条件，对在德国医院工作的外科医生进行了一项调查。询问了60个关于个人资料、建筑情况、设备和器械以及工作姿势和相关疼痛的问题。
调查显示所有领域都存在基本的人体工程学缺陷。外科医生表示，这些缺陷可能经常给患者和工作人员带来潜在危险。97%的受访外科医生认为手术室的人体工程学改进是必要的。
调查结果显示所有领域都有很大的改进潜力。因此，要求行业、外科医生及其专业组织致力于优化手术室的工作场所条件，以提高质量和效率。
