Hence, postponed operation of medical implements or false use of operation of implement may lead to deprivation of part of patient's physical function. The report chiefly discusses how panel angle and height are related to comfort brought during operation in order to offer nursing and normal staff better efficiency. Besides, it is advisable for medical product designer to efficiently adopt the figure as reference for designing implement such as panel angle and height. There are two main approaches toward researching the experiment, motive operation of hand track and experiment of subjective operation, are tested on ten nursing and normal staffs of emergency surgery respectively. Test samples are all female with no disease in their right hands. Analyzing operation of three controls (fractional rotation knob, push button, toggle switch), five panel angles (0 degree, 10 degree, 20 degree, 30 degree, 40 degree), five motive tracks of hand operation (87cm, 90cm, 93cm, 96c1. It is preferable for nursing staff to operate panel angle of controls, fractional rotation knob, push button and toggle switch, of 10-20 degree respectively. The greater height is of 90cm to 93cm.2. Normal staff is advised to operate panel angle of controls, fractional rotation knob, push button and toggle switch, of 10-20 degree respectively. The greater height is of 90-93cm save that of toggle switch is of 87-90cm.Keyword: ergonomic design, emergency surgery, hand motive track, evaluation of subjective operation
