Abstract

The pandemic caused by Coronavirus has affected life and changed the daily life of practically all countries, as well as its population, and due to the high rate of transmission, it is understood that health professionals working on the freight line to fight the pandemic are part of the risk group and are the most vulnerable due to daily exposure to infected patients. Covid-19 was the main cause of hospitalizations and interventions in the patients' airways are necessary for the intubation and orotracheal extubation of patients. During the initial approach of this procedure, the patient's airways may generate droplets of liquid resulting from speech or cough, in the form of aerosols, which increase the risk of transmission of Covid-19. For this, this article aimed to develop an Intubation and Extubation box with a User-Centered Design approach. The research carried out has an applied nature, with a qualitative approach and exploratory and explanatory objective, and with regard to the procedures, it was divided into two phases, namely: phase 1 – Theoretical support and phase 2 – Product Development. An intubation and extubation box were developed, with technological supports for survey, creation, simulation and materialization, using the principles of Human-Centered Design and Ergonomics, with an emphasis on the activity carried out by the health professional in the hospital context. This product, developed, proved to be viable, allowing the patient to maintain an adequate and stable body posture during the procedures and meeting the criteria and design requirements, enabling a safer procedure.
