Problem 4 (20 points): Patients brought into a trauma center are hooked up to sensors that display important parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. These parameters must be constantly monitored because they can change rapidly. The location of one is circled in the picture (located on the wall at the head of the bed), and an example is shown below. During a trauma response, emergency doctors and nurses are arranged around the patient’s bed. The trauma team leader is stationed at the head of the bed. You are brought in as a human factors specialist to evaluate whether the trauma team leader is making use of these vital signs monitors.
