Abstract

Background and objective: A cross-sectional prospective study to examine ergonomic differences in vitreoretinal settings: surgery, clinic, and dedicated procedure clinic.

Patients and methods: Three vitreoretinal surgeons, three fellows, and one resident at a tertiary eye care facility. Participants wore an Upright Go 2 posture device and posture was recorded in each setting between July 1 to August 31, 2023.

Results: Time in upright and poor postures was tracked. Significant differences were found in postural score for attendings between work settings (P < 0.01). Trainees showed no significant difference between settings. Poor posture in surgery was linked to microscope use and scleral buckle placement; in the clinic, it was associated with pan-retinal photocoagulation and injection minutes; in procedure clinic, it was ophthalmologist-dependent and those performing injections.

Conclusions: Ergonomic considerations are crucial in vitreoretinal practice. Attendings and trainees should focus on posture in surgery and clinic settings to enhance career longevity. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2025;56:80-85.].

通过可穿戴设备对整个玻璃体视网膜科室的主治医师和实习医师进行人体工程学评估。

背景和目的：一项横断面前瞻性研究，旨在探讨玻璃体视网膜手术、诊所和专用手术诊所的人体工程学差异：一项横断面前瞻性研究，探讨玻璃体视网膜手术、门诊和专用手术门诊环境中的人体工程学差异：患者：一家三级眼科医疗机构的三名玻璃体视网膜外科医生、三名研究员和一名住院医师。参与者在 2023 年 7 月 1 日至 8 月 31 日期间佩戴 Upright Go 2 姿势仪，并记录在每个环境中的姿势：结果：对直立姿势和不良姿势的时间进行了跟踪。发现不同工作环境中的主治医师的姿势得分存在显著差异（P < 0.01）。受训人员在不同工作环境下的姿势得分没有明显差异。在手术中，不良姿势与显微镜的使用和巩膜扣的放置有关；在临床中，不良姿势与全视网膜光凝和注射时间有关；在手术室中，不良姿势取决于眼科医生和进行注射的医生：结论：在玻璃体视网膜手术中，人体工程学因素至关重要。结论：在玻璃体视网膜手术中，人体工程学因素至关重要，主治医师和受训人员应注重手术和门诊中的姿势，以延长职业寿命。[眼科手术激光成像视网膜2024;55:XX-XX]。
