ABSTRACT
‘Red blanket’ (RB) processes accelerate the surgical treatment of patients who have suffered severe trauma. Although the rapid start of surgery has positive effects on patient outcomes, the short time available to prepare for a case and the limited information available at the outset of care can be challenging for physicians. To support the lead of an RB team in making the right clinical decisions quickly, this work proposes a head-worn display (HWD) based information system. HWD could be valuable in RB settings, because they provide information in a continuous and hands-free manner, potentially allowing physicians to access case relevant data while treating the patient. Through an interview study with seven anaesthetists, we studied work practices of RB team leads and identified user requirements for the HWD based support system. We discuss opportunities and challenges for HWDs in RB settings and provide a detailed description of the developed HWD application.
