The efficient and functional design of a hybrid operating room not only improves patient safety and the efficiency of the medical team, but also optimizes workflows, reduces operating times and enhances the quality of care.

 

In this context, hybrid operating rooms represent the clearest symbol of technological and structural transformation in hospitals and highly specialized surgical centers.

Understanding the importance of good design in these spaces is essential to ensure their operational success and their adaptation to the current demands of precision medicine.

 

The importance of hybrid operating room design: key to high-precision medical care

 

 

What are hybrid operating rooms or smart operating rooms?

Hybrid operating rooms, also known as smart operating rooms, are advanced surgical spaces that integrate state-of-the-art medical technology with high-precision diagnostic imaging equipment. Unlike traditional operating rooms, these rooms make it possible to combine surgical procedures with real-time imaging tests, such as MRI or intraoperative CT scans, without the need to transfer the patient to other areas of the hospital.

This fusion of surgery and diagnostics in a single environment allows for more precise, agile and safe interventions, significantly reducing margins of error and improving clinical decision making during the operation.

 

 

What are the benefits of hybrid ORs over conventional ORs?

The advantages of these intelligent surgical environments are manifold and decisive for modern medical care:

  1. Immediate and accurate diagnosis: Thanks to high-resolution and 3D images, practitioners can obtain accurate information during the procedure.
  2. Less invasive procedures: With advanced image-guided tools, unnecessary cuts and manipulations are minimized.
  3. Increased patient safety: Surgical risk is reduced by avoiding transfers and having a clear view of the patient’s condition in real time.
  4. Faster recovery: Precision in the procedure reduces complications and speeds up postoperative recovery times.

 

 

 

Essential and technological requirements

Hybrid operating rooms, due to their level of complexity and advanced equipment, require much more demanding spatial planning than conventional operating rooms. While the latter usually occupy between 40 and 60 square meters, hybrid operating rooms require areas of between 70 and 90 square meters, thus allowing the installation of high-precision imaging equipment and ensuring the smooth mobility of the surgical team.

There are two main configurations: one option in which the operating room directly integrates the diagnostic imaging equipment, and another in which there is an adjoining room dedicated exclusively to these devices, such as the fixed X-ray arch or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The latter modality allows the imaging systems to be operated independently, keeping the sterile environment intact and improving the circulation of auxiliary personnel.

In addition, it is imperative that these rooms comply with radiation protection requirements, including the use of special coatings such as lead in walls and doors. They must also be enabled to perform minimally invasive procedures, which implies a functional distribution of space and quick access to the necessary equipment.

The design must contemplate separate but connected spaces for the control room and the technical room, both with direct visibility to the operating room, for efficient supervision. On the other hand, the incorporation of real-time audiovisual communication systems is key, as they allow videoconferencing during surgery, which is of great value both for medical training and for collaboration between specialists from different centers.

Surgical professionals also require advanced visualization technologies. For this reason, it is essential to have high-definition monitors, recording systems, mobile surgical lights and devices such as image intensifiers, which allow every detail of the procedure to be visualized with maximum clarity.

 

 

 

Lighting, flexibility and environmental control in hybrid operating rooms

Adequate surgical lighting, complemented by controlled natural light, improves procedural accuracy and comfort during prolonged surgeries.
The design should ensure efficient staff circulation, separate flows according to functions and maintain equivalent aseptic conditions in all areas, including diagnostic rooms.

The use of modular structures facilitates space adaptation, optimizes installation and maintenance times, and improves the quality and safety of the surgical environment.
It is also essential to comply with ISO 14644 standards, which regulate air quality in operating rooms, guaranteeing a sterile and safe environment to prevent infections.

 

 

 

 

Advantages for the user: technology at the service of the patient and the medical team

The incorporation of advanced solutions such as those provided by Tedisel Medical, technical panels, ceiling supply units, software, among other systems, together with high-precision medical imaging technologies such as intraoperative 3D, computed tomography and real-time MRI, offers substantial benefits for both the medical team and patients. This technological integration improves clinical efficiency, optimizes workflows and contributes to safer, more accurate and personalized care.

These technologies allow simultaneous collaboration between different medical specialties, favoring a more efficient multidisciplinary approach. In addition, by avoiding the transfer of the patient between the operating room and other diagnostic areas, the risks of cross-contamination are reduced, the possibility of infection is minimized and the recovery process is accelerated.

The immediate diagnostic accuracy provided by these systems improves decision-making during surgery, increases surgical success rates and contributes to better long-term clinical outcomes, with more personalized and safer care.

 

 

 

Modular architecture: adaptability for the operating room of the future

Hybrid operating rooms are constantly evolving, adapting to new surgical requirements and technological advances. Therefore, it is essential to have flexible and modular spaces, capable of adjusting to changes in flooring, technical ceilings, air conditioning systems and integrated communication networks.

Incorporating Innovative, High-Quality Healthcare Technology: An Essential Challenge for Spain’s National Health System

November 18, 2024 tedisel Hospital technology, Medical equipment, News

Do companies in the Healthcare Technology sector have an innovative DNA? Yes, without a doubt. This ability to continuously advance poses a challenge for Spain’s National Health System (SNS). To address this challenge, the Spanish Federation of Healthcare Technology Companies, Fenin, has introduced various solutions to facilitate rapid access to the latest technological innovations for patients and healthcare professionals.

“Technology and medical products play a decisive role in patient care. Our industry offers new solutions for patients’ clinical needs and the healthcare system’s challenges. It is essential to ensure access to these technologies so healthcare professionals can improve diagnoses and treatments. It’s impossible to build a future-focused healthcare system using outdated technology,” explained Pablo Crespo, Fenin’s Secretary-General, during a seminar.

To promote the adoption of “high-quality” healthcare technology within the SNS, Fenin proposes several measures. These include implementing public procurement models based on value to maintain care quality, restructuring care processes to enhance system efficiency, and fostering a culture of investment planning to prevent technological obsolescence in hospitals and health centers.

Quality, not just price, should be the determining factor in public healthcare technology procurement contracts. “Fenin works with health administrations to establish new procurement models where at least 50% of award criteria are linked to the value provided by the product or service. Only quality technology ensures precise diagnoses and safer treatments, ultimately improving health outcomes and SNS efficiency,” added Fenin’s Secretary-General.

 

“Fenin proposes harnessing the full potential of quality healthcare technologies and ensuring equitable access for healthcare professionals and patients.”

Indexation of Public Contracts and Medical Products

Regarding public contracts and medical products included in pharmaceutical services, Fenin suggests that these contracts be indexed—allowing for price adjustments throughout their duration based on prevailing conditions—to ensure Spain remains competitive in providing patients with the best healthcare technology. Thus, Fenin proposes indexing to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as previously allowed under the Public Sector Contracts Law until 2015.

Also tied to innovation within the SNS, the seminar addressed the renewal of the technology infrastructure in national hospitals. Despite the recent success of the INVEAT Plan—which facilitated the replacement and expansion of nearly 850 high-tech devices nationwide—Spain still shows “worrying levels of obsolescence in certain technology segments that did not benefit from the INVEAT Plan, exceeding the maximum recommended ‘useful’ life threshold (between 10 and 12 years) set by international organizations,” Fenin emphasized.

In this regard, Fenin calls for a national investment strategy to meet the so-called “Golden Rules” or “60-30-10” guidelines: 60% of equipment should be less than five years old, 30% between five and ten years, and no more than 10% over ten years old (considered obsolete). The ultimate goal should be zero obsolescence.

Legislative Changes

Some of these initiatives require legislative changes. For example, reforming the Law on Guarantees and Rational Use of Medicines and Medical Products is necessary. This legislation—despite its name—is currently structured with the pharmaceutical sector in mind, rather than the Healthcare Technology sector.

“It has been 18 years since the catalog of medical products has been updated, and technological innovation in medical products dispensed with a prescription in pharmacies has been limited. This results in Spanish patients receiving products that are already discontinued in many European countries. It’s encouraging that the Ministry of Health is considering this legislative reform, but it must result in a regulation distinct from that governing medicines, given the technical and intrinsic differences in our sector,” concluded Pablo Crespo.

Humanizing hospital rooms: merging medical care and architectural design

September 10, 2024 tedisel bed head units, Hospitals, Medical equipment

Hospital humanization focuses on designing spaces that prioritize the patient, creating environments that facilitate faster recovery by providing safety, rest, and care.

When a patient is admitted for a medium to long period, the hospital room temporarily becomes their home. Therefore, the design of these rooms must go beyond functionality and traditional design, embracing also the humanization of the space.

 

Importance of the Environment in Patient Recovery

There is a direct relationship between patient recovery and the surrounding environment. In recent years, there have been numerous changes and improvements in healthcare architecture, with an increasing focus on a more human and approachable architecture, moving away from the overly medicalized environment. This trend is also reflected in the choice of medical equipment that adapts to this new humanized architecture. 

 

“At Tedisel Medical, we are committed to developing, innovating, and manufacturing hospital equipment to improve staff efficiency and provide quality patient care.”

 

 

Humanizing Hospital Rooms: Merging Medical Care and Architectural Design

 

 

Humanization of Hospital Spaces

The humanization of hospital spaces goes beyond providing a pleasant environment for patients; it also involves creating an optimal environment for medical and support staff. It is crucial to design considering the needs of all the people interacting in the hospital environment.

 For example, the Hospital del Mar has initiated a significant architectural transformation process to adapt to the demands for greater comfort and functionality for patients and healthcare professionals.

This project focuses on the new hospitalization areas, where priority has been given to the inclusion of natural light, controlled lighting systems and specially designed furniture to enhance the experience of all involved. In addition, advances have been introduced such as electronic tablets placed next to each bed, which will not only function as work tools for medical staff, but also as sources of entertainment and education for patients, even offering health advice. Lockers with keypad access have also been installed to ensure the safety and comfort of patients during their stay. This comprehensive approach seeks not only to optimize medical care, but also to enhance well-being and quality of life in the hospital environment.

The hospitalization areas have been designed with wide spaces and corridors, and the nursing checkpoint has been located at strategic points to facilitate communication with patients. A highlight has been the emphasis on the humanization of the spaces, with the collaboration of artist Perico Pastor, a Hospital del Mar user. Pastor has embellished the bathrooms in all the rooms with a dozen of his original works. In his own words: 

 

“Art is to share and to accompany. So, imagine going to a hospital and, when you feel down and enter the bathroom, you find a painting, a work of art!”

 

 

Importance of Materials and Design in Hospital Humanization

Careful choice of materials can have a significant impact on the transformation of hospital spaces, adding warmth and comfort. Using natural materials such as wood to clad medical equipment can generate a more welcoming atmosphere, providing patients and families with a sense of familiarity and tranquility in the hospital environment. A prime example of this philosophy is evident in our projects, such as the Lusíadas Porto Hospital, where our AIS headboard adapts to specific needs, always offering the best solution for patients.

The choice of furniture also plays a crucial role in this perception. Selecting the right medical equipment, which not only fulfills its technical function but also significantly enhances the ambiance of the room, contributes to a more human and less institutional atmosphere.

At Tedisel Medical, we are committed to integrating medical devices into the design of hospital equipment with our bed head units. We design and equip equipment with wall covering options, which helps reduce the feeling of being in a hospital environment and creates a more welcoming and less clinical environment. 

Our products stand out for their adaptability in terms of lighting. We recognize that indirect light can create a relaxed atmosphere, while focused lighting is essential for medical procedures. For this reason, we at Tedisel strive to offer a wide variety of lighting options, ranging from direct to indirect and night lighting. We introduce our Aura Light model to complement all hospitalization areas, ensuring adequate lighting for every need. In addition, we understand the importance of acoustic comfort, proper ventilation and humidity control to avoid nuisances such as unwanted noise, unpleasant odors and excessive humidity. Consequently, we are committed to ensuring that all our products comply with established regulations and requirements, ensuring an optimal and comfortable hospital environment for patients and medical staff alike.

More private spaces and recovery-enhancing spaces

Designing more private and recovery-focused spaces is an increasingly relevant trend in the hospital setting. Creating environments where patients can feel sheltered from noise and hustle and bustle is crucial to their well-being. Examples such as the therapeutic gardens in the new extension of the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre illustrate this evolution towards a more serene and comforting environment. These open spaces and the integration of green areas not only promote physical recovery, but also contribute to humanizing the hospital environment, providing a haven for calm and healing.

 

 

 

“Functionality and optimization in all hospital areas are paramount elements that should not be neglected in the humanization process.”

 

The rooms must be well designed, with an optimal arrangement of hospital equipment and an appropriate selection of materials to facilitate the work of healthcare personnel. Involving staff in the design from the outset is crucial to ensure an efficient working environment. It is vital to ensure sufficient space around beds for staff and equipment, as well as accessible toilets and adequate space for wheelchair use and assistance. In addition, the integration of new technologies in hospitals can boost efficiency and improve the patient recovery process by implementing humanization projects such as those that many hospitals, such as the Vall d’Hebron Hospital Campus, are progressively implementing. Mobile applications can promote patient participation and improve direct communication between patients and healthcare staff, thus optimizing workflow and medical care.

Healthcare Equipment Design, Cleaning and Disinfection: Making the Operating Room Safe and Secure

June 10, 2024 tedisel Medical equipment, Operating Rooms

Studies reveal that surgical site infections (SSIs) account for approximately 20% of all hospital-acquired infections, highlighting the urgent need to prevent and control these incidences in operating rooms to ensure patient safety. 

 

“Cleaning and disinfection of the surgical area emerge as fundamental pillars to ensure the safe operation of medical facilities. However, classifying spaces within a hospital environment becomes especially relevant in surgical areas, where cross-contamination between areas with different activities and cleaning needs could considerably increase the risk of infections.”

 

The segmentation of spaces in these areas not only seeks to prevent cross-contamination, but also indirectly contributes to reducing the risk of infections. Within the surgical environment, it is crucial to differentiate various spaces, among them:

  • Access and reception area.
  • Resuscitation area.
  • Dressing room and office area.
  • Surgical preparation area.
  • Material/instrument cleaning and material storage area.
  • Operating rooms (including ambulatory surgery operating rooms).

 

This segmentation not only optimizes the organization and functioning of the surgical area, but also strengthens the preventive measures against infections, thus ensuring a safer environment for patients and medical staff.

Sources of infection in operating rooms

Most Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) occur during the surgical procedure, when the patient’s wounds are still open. The main sources of infection can derive from:

  1. Surgical team members and their attire.
  2. The environmental conditions of the operating room, including the air quality.
  3. The equipment used during the procedure.

 

Implementing strict protocols can make a big difference in reducing the incidence of SSIs. Every medical setting should have a robust set of infection control protocols, and every member of the surgical staff must be fully familiar with these procedures.

Environmental measures in the operating room for infection control

The operating room should be kept aseptic, highly sterile and with restricted access. To prevent and control infections in these environments, the following measures can be implemented:

  • It is crucial to maintain the operating room between 20-24°C and a relative humidity of 40-60% to prevent bacterial growth.
  • Walls should have a smooth surface to ensure easy and effective cleaning. 
  • Separate doors for entrance and exit. Sliding doors can minimize drafts when entering and leaving the room.
  • Professionals should follow strict hygiene standards, wear hospital pajamas, cover head and feet, wear masks, wash hands and wear gloves. Operating room staff should be kept to a minimum and movements should be reduced.
