“…Our hypothesis was supported: Participants were significantly better at identifying the range when they used the beacon sonification than when they used the log-linear sonification. This finding supports the suggestion of Schulte and Block (1992) that a "heralding tone" would improve accuracy in identification of critical SpO 2 ranges and is consistent with the finding of Watson and Gill (2004) that participants identified sonified blood pressure values more accurately when there was a beacon to act as a reference tone.…”

“…Our redesigns are based partly on concepts initially proposed over 20 years ago. First, Schulte and Block (1992) suggested the use of greater pitch differences between SpO 2 levels to make changes more discriminable, as well as a "heralding tone" to indicate important changes. Second, Kramer (1994aKramer ( , 1994b proposed the use of auditory beacons.…”

Anaesthesia monitoring: the human factors component of technology transfer

Resistance to change in monitoring practices from within the anaesthesiology community is a formidable obstacle, and coercive and exhortatory solutions are likely to be unsuccessful in some situations. An analysis of publications about technology transfer and professional obsolescence, and application of this data to the practice of anaesthesia, reveals various stresses that technology transfer from research areas to the work-place may induce in vulnerable anaesthesiologists and account for their attitudes. It is suggested that the invaluable pronouncements of high profile anaesthesiologist groups must be supplemented by supportive behaviour by physicians and administrators at an institutional level. The human factors issues to be addressed include: (i) Monitored data acquisition skills. (ii) Possibility of acting on monitored data. (iii) Assistance for personal insight into attitudinal difficulties that may be encountered. (iv) Data supporting the value of the device. (v) Ergonomically effective integration of the monitor into the work station. Alternatively the perceptions of potential users may accurately reflect changes in their status in the new work situation created by monitors, and decision making aids that may or may not be derived from them. Thus, plans to present job satisfaction in related clinical areas or to associate the proposed new system with evaluation of its effect on patient outcome will be necessary. In this way the clinician becomes involved in clinical research, a quality of personal and quality care development.
