Fairbanks RJ, Caplan SH, Bishop PA, et al. Usability Study of Two Common Defibrillators Reveals Hazards. Ann Emerg Med. 2007;50(4):424-432. doi:10.1016/j.annemergmed.2007.03.029.
This study used simulated resuscitation scenarios and found that a confusing user interface limited paramedics' ability to properly use two common defibrillator models. A related editorial discusses the challenge of uniting patient safety principles and usability.
