Ergonomics in relation to anaesthesia is the scientific study of the interaction between anaesthetists and their workspace environment in order to promote safety, performance and well-being. The foundation for avoiding pain or discomfort at work is to adopt and maintain a good posture, whether sitting or standing. Anaesthetists should aim to keep their posture as natural and neutral as possible. The successful practice of anaesthesia relies on optimisation of ergonomics and lack of attention to detail in this area is associated with impaired performance. The anaesthetic team should wear comfortable clothing, including appropriately-sized personal protective equipment where necessary. Temperature, humidity and light should be adequate at all times. The team should comply with infection prevention and control guidelines and monitoring as recommended by the Association of Anaesthetists. Any equipment or machinery that is mobile should be positioned where it is easy to view or reach without having to change the body or head position significantly when interacting with it. Patients who are supine should, whenever possible, be raised upwards to limit the need to lean towards them. Any item required during a procedure should be positioned on trays or trolleys that are close to the dominant hand. Pregnancy affects the requirements for standing, manually handling, applying force when operating equipment or moving machines and the period over which the individual might have to work without a break. Employers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate disability in the workplace. Any member of staff with a physical impairment needs to be accommodated and this includes making provision for a wheelchair user who needs to enter the operating theatre and perform their work.

麻醉工作场所的人体工程学

与麻醉有关的人体工程学是对麻醉师与其工作环境之间相互作用的科学研究，以促进安全、性能和福祉。避免工作中的疼痛或不适的基础是采取并保持良好的姿势，无论是坐着还是站着。麻醉师应尽可能保持姿势自然和中立。麻醉的成功实践依赖于人体工程学的优化，并且缺乏对该领域细节的关注与性能受损有关。麻醉团队应穿着舒适的衣服，必要时包括适当尺寸的个人防护设备。温度、湿度和光照应始终保持充足。该团队应遵守麻醉师协会建议的感染预防和控制指南和监测。任何可移动的设备或机械都应放置在易于查看或触及的位置，而无需在与之交互时显着改变身体或头部位置。仰卧位的患者应尽可能向上抬高，以限制向他们倾斜的需要。手术过程中需要的任何物品都应放置在靠近惯用手的托盘或手推车上。怀孕会影响站立、手动操作、操作设备或移动机器时施加力的要求以及个人可能必须不间断工作的时间。雇主有责任做出合理的调整以适应工作场所的残疾。
