Abstract

Current ambulance designs are ergonomically inefficient and often times unsafe for practical treatment response to medical emergencies. Thus, the patient compartment of a moving ambulance is a hazardous working environment. As a consequence, emergency medical services (EMS) workers suffer fatalities and injuries that far exceed those of the average work place in the United States. To reduce injury and mortality rates in ambulances, the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate has teamed with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and BMT Designers & Planners in a joint project to produce science-based ambulance patient compartment design standards. This project will develop new crash-safety design standards and improved user-design interface guidance for patient compartments that are safer for EMS personnel and patients, and facilitate improved patient care. The project team has been working with practitioners, EMS workers' organizations, and manufacturers to solicit needs and requirements to address related issues. This paper presents an analysis of practitioners' concerns, needs, and requirements for improved designs elicited through the web-based survey of ambulance design, held by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This paper also introduces the survey, analyzes the survey results, and discusses recommendations for future ambulance patient compartments design.

救护车设计调查2011:总结报告。
目前的救护车设计在人体工程学上效率低下,而且对于医疗紧急情况的实际治疗反应往往不安全。因此,移动救护车的病人室是一个危险的工作环境。因此,紧急医疗服务(EMS)工作人员遭受的伤亡远远超过美国普通工作场所的伤亡人数。为了减少救护车的伤害和死亡率,国土安全部科学和技术局与国家标准与技术研究所、国家职业安全与健康研究所以及BMT设计师和规划人员合作开展了一个联合项目,以制定基于科学的救护车病人室设计标准。该项目将制定新的碰撞安全设计标准和改进的病人隔间用户设计界面指南,使急救人员和病人更安全,并促进改善病人护理。项目团队一直在与从业人员、EMS工人组织和制造商合作,征求需求和要求,以解决相关问题。本文分析了从业人员对改进设计的关注、需求和要求,这些问题是通过国家标准与技术研究所举办的基于网络的救护车设计调查得出的。本文还介绍了调查结果,对调查结果进行了分析,并对今后救护车病人室的设计提出了建议。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the flagship publication of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It has been published under various titles and forms since 1904, with its roots as Scientific Papers issued as the Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards. In 1928, the Scientific Papers were combined with Technologic Papers, which reported results of investigations of material and methods of testing. This new publication was titled the Bureau of Standards Journal of Research. The Journal of Research of NIST reports NIST research and development in metrology and related fields of physical science, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, biotechnology, information technology.
