Structured PICO

P
Population
Anaesthetists and the anaesthetic workplace environment
I
Intervention
Implementation of ergonomic principles and practices (e.g., neutral posture, optimal equipment positioning, environmental controls, manual handling)
O
Outcome
Promotion of safety, performance, and well-being, and reduction of musculoskeletal injuries

This guideline provides the first specific recommendations for optimizing ergonomics in the anaesthetic workplace to improve safety, performance, and well-being while reducing musculoskeletal injuries.
