Setting up an operating room requires meticulous attention to detail to ensure a safe, sterile, and efficient environment for surgical procedures. Here are key considerations when setting up an operating room:
1. Why are the corners of the operating room curved?
In the operating room, every design is to avoid bacterial growth, so the curved corners of the operating room are based on this principle. Traditional square corners easily accumulate dirt and bacteria, making them difficult to clean. The curved design can avoid dirt accumulation, facilitate cleaning and disinfection, and minimize bacterial growth. Therefore, the curved design of the corners of the operating room has become a standard feature.
2. What materials are used for curved corners of operating rooms?
Fiberglass plate
FRP panels are a composite material made of glass fiber reinforced materials and resin matrix materials. It has the advantages of waterproof, anti-corrosion, acid and alkali resistance, and easy to clean, so it is commonly used in operating rooms. In addition, fiberglass panels also have good sound insulation properties, which can effectively reduce the interference of operating room noise on operations. However, its shortcomings are also obvious, such as being easily damaged and deformed by physical forces, prone to cracks, and need to be replaced regularly.
electrolytic steel plate
Electrolytic steel plate is the best material first recommended by domestic and foreign experts. After the operation room decorated with electrolytic panels is completed, it will be seamless, have good air-tightness and low cost. During use, if the surface layer is damaged by strong impact, the putty can be scraped on site and sprayed with the same color paint, so that the operating room will look like new. Therefore, electrolytic steel plate is the best material first recommended by experts at home and abroad.
composite board
Composite panels are a new type of material consisting of one or more layers of materials. It is widely used in operating rooms due to its good corrosion resistance, heat insulation, impact resistance and other advantages. Its surface coating can reflect most light without producing reflections and glare, giving people a sense of visual comfort. However, because of its large size, it is difficult to fix and requires the use of special support structures. At the same time, composite materials may also pollute the environment if they do not meet national standards.
3. Most operating room wall colors are green and blue?
This situation occurs because during the operation, the surgeon is easily tired of red when he needs to observe red blood and internal organs for a long time. Green, as the complementary color of red, is regarded as a residual form in the surgeon's vision. Therefore, in order to prevent color afterimages, surgical gowns and walls are generally green to eliminate the color afterimages of red contrasting colors.
4. What are the necessary equipment in the operating room?
The surgical light is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the operating room. It usually uses LED or xenon lamp technology to provide high-brightness, high-visibility, low-heat light to ensure that the surgeon has a clear view of the operating area.
The operating table is one of the essential equipment in the operating room and has multiple functions, such as adjusting height, tilt angle and position. The stability and comfort of the operating bed are crucial to the success of the operation.
The operating room also needs to be equipped with professional anesthesia machines and a variety of monitoring instruments to ensure the safety of surgical patients and monitor important indicators such as vital signs.
The operating room needs to be equipped with various surgical instruments and sterilization equipment, such as scalpels, various surgical clips, suture needles and threads, etc. The materials, processing techniques, and sterilization methods of surgical instruments all need to meet relevant standards and regulations.
The operating room also needs to be equipped with various surgical imaging equipment, such as X-ray machines, CT machines, ultrasound, etc., to help surgeons better observe the condition and assist in surgical operations.
A well-prepared operating room is essential for successful surgical outcomes. Adherence to strict sterilization protocols, equipment readiness, a conducive environment, safety measures, and effective communication are paramount in setting up an efficient and safe operating room environment.
