Single-center task analysis and user-centered assessment of physical space impacts on emergency Cesarean delivery.
<h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to begin to address this gap using validated techniques in human factors to perform a participatory user-centered analysis of physical space during emergency Cesarean.<h4>Methods</h4>This study employed a mixed-methods design. Focus group in...

Focus group interviews and surveys were administered to a convenience sample (n = 34) of multidisciplinary obstetric teams. Data collected from focus group interviews were used to perform a task and equipment analysis. Survey data were coded and mapped by specialty to identify reported areas of congestion and time spent, and to identify themes related to physical space of the OR and labor and delivery unit.<h4>Results</h4>Task analysis revealed complex interdependencies between specialties.
