Simulation-based User-centered Design: An Approach to Device Development during COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Since the onset of COVID-19, intubations have become very high risk for clinical teams. Barrier devices during endotracheal intubation protect clinicians from the aerosols generated. Simulation-based user-centered design (UCD) was an iterative design process used to develop a pediatric intubation aerosol containment system (IACS). Simulation was anchored in human factor engineering and UCD to better understand clinicians' complex interaction with the IACS device, elicit user wants and needs, identify design inefficiencies, and unveil safety concerns.

Methods

This study was a prospective observational study of a simulation-based investigation used to design a pediatric IACS rapidly. Debriefing and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis identified latent conditions rela
