• Abstract:
  This study examines the use of menus and mnemonics in current Airway Facilities (AF) systems and compares them to human factors ; guidelines and best practices. Researchers from the William J. Hughes Technical Center traveled to AF field sites and collected data ; on the menus and mnemonics for the systems in use. The researchers extracted human factors guidance on menus and mnemonics ; from the literature and surveyed current commercial software. Using this information, they identified commercial standards for menu ; structure, terminology, mnemonics, options, and organization. They compared current AF systems against this information and ; developed recommendations for the design of future systems.
