Designing the User Interface of a Nitroglycerin Dose Titration Decision Support System: User-Centered Design Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

 Nurses adjust intravenous nitroglycerin infusions to provide acute relief for angina by manually increasing or decreasing the dosage. However, titration can pose challenges, as excessively high doses can lead to hypotension, and low doses may result in inadequate pain relief. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) that predict changes in blood pressure for nitroglycerin dose adjustments may assist nurses with titration.

Objective

 This study aimed to design a user interface for a CDSS for nitroglycerin dose titration (Nitroglycerin Dose Titration Decision Support System [nitro DSS]).

Methods

 A user-centered design (UCD) approach, consisting of an initial qualitative study with semistructured interviews to identify des
