Study type | Interventional |
This is an exploratory study to assess the ability of the raw-TLX (raw Task Load Index) ergonomic assessment tool to detect differences in surgeon workload when using commercially available advanced bipolar devices. It is anticipated that the raw-TLX version of the validated NASA-TLX ergonomic assessment tool will detect less surgeon effort required in the procedure when articulating ENSEAL is utilized. The Articulating ENSEAL device may also positively impact other variables such as blood loss, operative time and cost.

Primary | Raw Task Load Index (TLX) Score Assigned by Surgeons | The Official NASA Task Load Index (TLX) is a subjective workload assessment tool to allow users to perform subjective workload assessments on operator(s) working with various human-machine interface systems. By incorporating a multi-dimensional rating procedure, NASA TLX derives an overall workload score based on a weighted average of ratings on six subscales given below. The overall workload score ranges between 0 and 100 with 100 being the most demanding. Mental Demand Physical Demand Temporal Demand Performance Effort Frustration |
