TY - JOUR T1 - Chair design and the anesthesia provider. A1 - Petty,W C, PY - 1996/6/1/pubmed PY - 1996/6/1/medline PY - 1996/6/1/entrez SP - 255 EP - 60 JF - AANA journal JO - AANA J VL - 64 IS - 3 N2 - Anesthesia providers spend a considerable amount of time sitting in poorly designed chairs. In the majority of hospitals, anesthesia providers are reluctant to request ergonomically designed chairs for the operating room. Multiple studies have given conclusive evidence that properly designed chairs reduce low back pain, improve lower extremity circulation, and relieve muscle tension, thus increasing overall comfort. Continual use of poorly designed chairs and stools in the operating room will cause eventual health complaints. Ergonomically designed chairs will be a wise purchase for the anesthesia provider, especially those who are aging or have physical complaints related to the back, muscle tension, and other lower extremity problems.
