    Area of Science:

    • Medical device development
    • Clinical engineering
    • Product design in healthcare

    Background:

    • A need for an improved resuscitation trolley was identified before the Phase I redevelopment of Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
    • A specialized liaison group comprising medical, nursing, and scientific staff was formed to address equipment selection and specification.
    • Existing resuscitation trolleys did not meet the evolving clinical needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and develop a novel resuscitation trolley to meet identified clinical requirements.
    • To foster collaboration between healthcare professionals and design experts.
    • To create a functional prototype for rigorous hospital evaluation.

    Main Methods:

    • A collaborative design study was conducted involving a multidisciplinary liaison group and the Product Design Section of the Glasgow School of Art.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • A basic design was conceptualized based on the collaborative input.
  • The Department of Clinical Physics and Bioengineering constructed a prototype of the new resuscitation trolley.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional prototype of a new resuscitation trolley was successfully developed.
    • The prototype underwent hospital trials to assess its efficacy and usability.
    • The developed unit was subsequently commercialized, indicating successful market adoption.

    Conclusions:

    • The collaborative design approach effectively addressed the need for an advanced resuscitation trolley.
    • The project demonstrated the successful transition from concept to commercial product in medical equipment.
    • The new resuscitation trolley met the requirements for clinical trials and commercial viability.
