Ergonomically Auditing Your Scan Room

The growing demand for ultrasound examinations is evident, as is the incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) incurred by ultrasound practitioners. This paper outlines a simple ergonomic audit that all operators can complete on their ultrasound room and equipment. As a result of this audit, areas of weaknesses in room/equipment design can be highlighted, with recommendations for more ergonomically designed equipment put forward to departmental managers, with the overall aim of reducing WRMSDs among ultrasound practitioners.
