Technology in operating rooms: advances and their impact on patient safety

October 27, 2025 tedisel

Medicine is advancing by leaps and bounds, and operating rooms are one of the scenarios where technological innovation is making the most visible difference. If we think of an operating room just 30 years ago, the image was very different from today’s: less digitized equipment, less systems integration and processes much more dependent on human effort.

Today, operating rooms have become truly intelligent spaces. Minimally invasive surgery, robotics, real-time monitoring and, increasingly, solutions that guarantee not only efficiency for professionals, but also safety and confidence for patients, converge there.

In this article we will discuss how technology is transforming the work in operating rooms and what is the direct impact on patient safety. In addition, we will look at concrete examples of how products such as HERMES control software or Tedisel ceiling supply units contribute to more ergonomic, safer and more efficient surgical environments.

1. A new era in operating rooms

For decades, patient safety in surgery depended mainly on the capability of the medical team and the quality of the instruments. However, the risks were high: hospital-acquired infections, human error due to fatigue, limited monitoring and long recovery times.

Today, thanks to digitalization and the incorporation of advanced systems, these risks have been significantly reduced. Technology does not replace the medical team, but it does act as an ally that offers precision, support in decision-making and a safer and more efficient work environment.

A prime example is control software systems, such as our HERMES, which transform the operating room into a fully integrated space. Thanks to this solution, different devices are centralized and coordinated from a single interface, providing efficiency and safety. One success story is that of the CMA Granollers Health Center, where each piece of equipment used to operate in isolation and now everything is managed in a unified way: from lighting, cameras and monitors, to communication systems and environmental parameters. This integration reduces the risk of errors, optimizes communication between professionals and allows the surgeon to focus all his attention on what is most important: the patient and the surgical procedure.

2. Technological advances that have transformed the operating room

Minimally invasive and robotic surgery: Laparoscopic techniques and surgical robots have reduced the need for large incisions, which directly results in less postoperative pain and lower risks of infections. For example, a procedure that used to require weeks of recovery can now be resolved with just a few days of hospitalization.
Advanced real-time monitoring: Today’s systems allow constant and precise observation of the patient’s vital signs. In addition, thanks to artificial intelligence algorithms, it is possible to detect minute variations that could go unnoticed by the naked eye, generating early warnings for the medical team.
Augmented reality and surgical simulation: Surgeons can train on high-fidelity simulators and plan complex procedures with 3D images. This preparation reduces risks and increases confidence during the actual procedure.
Digital integration and control software: This is where solutions such as those from Tedisel come into play, offering Hermes software designed to integrate the entire operating room into a unified system. This means that lighting, columns, screens and even the air-conditioning system can be managed from a single platform. The impact on safety is enormous: fewer distractions, less wasted time and greater responsiveness to any unforeseen event.

3. Ergonomics as a pillar of safety

An operating room must not only be technologically advanced, but also comfortable and efficient for the staff working in it. Ergonomics is key because surgeons and nurses spend hours in demanding positions, handling delicate equipment and responding to critical situations.

In this regard, Tediselmedical’s motorized columns represent a fundamental advance. They allow the height and position of medical equipment to be adjusted automatically and precisely.

What does this mean in practice?

The surgeon does not need to make forced movements to reach devices.
The nursing staff can quickly adapt the room layout according to the procedure.
The workflow is optimized, reducing downtime and minimizing errors.
In addition, a motorized column not only improves the comfort of the equipment, but also avoids risky situations: an incorrectly positioned cable, equipment in the wrong position or an overload of devices can become a problem during surgery. Thanks to these systems, everything is organized in a safer and more functional way.

4. Direct impact on patient safety

The key question is:

how does all this benefit the patient?

Fewer infections: digitized operating rooms make it possible to control sterilization and instrument traceability with greater precision.
Fewer human errors: by centralizing functions in a control software, the risk of confusion or operational errors is minimized.
Faster recoveries: thanks to less invasive techniques and ergonomics that streamline procedures, patients experience fewer postoperative complications.
Greater confidence: for both patients and their families, knowing that state-of-the-art technology is being used generates peace of mind.

An illustrative example: an operating room equipped with Tediselmedical’s Hermes software can, in a matter of seconds, adjust lighting, project images on high-resolution monitors and automatically record procedure data. All this allows the medical team to concentrate solely on the surgery, without wasting time on manual adjustments or repetitive checks.

5. Use cases: how technology changes daily practice

Imagine a complex cardiac surgery. The operating room is equipped with:

Tedisel motorized columns, which organize the workspace, avoiding cables on the floor and ensuring that each piece of equipment is within proper reach.
Centralized Hermes software, from which monitors, lighting and communication systems with other areas of the hospital are managed.
Real-time monitoring, which detects variations in vital signs and immediately alerts the anesthesiologist.

In this scenario, the patient receives a safer procedure with less chance of complications. For the medical team, the environment is more comfortable, reducing fatigue and the risk of errors.

6. Challenges and opportunities

Despite advances, the implementation of technology in operating rooms faces challenges:

High initial investment: equipping an operating room with advanced systems requires a significant budget.
Constant training: personnel must receive continuous training to take full advantage of the tools.
Equity of access: not all hospitals, especially in less developed regions, have these solutions.

However, the opportunities are enormous. The operating rooms of the future will be increasingly connected, with full data integration, predictive artificial intelligence and systems that ensure even greater safety.

7. Tediselmedical solutions: innovation at the service of patient safety

In this context, companies like Tediselmedical have positioned themselves as key allies in the transformation of operating rooms. Our products are not only focused on technology, but on the real impact it has on patient safety and well-being.

HERMES software: centralizes the management of the different operating room systems, optimizing efficiency and reducing risks.
Motorized operating room columns: improve the ergonomics and organization of the surgical space, ensuring a safer environment.
Customized solutions: adapted to the specific needs of each hospital, maximizing the technological investment.

The added value of these solutions lies in the fact that they are not simply tools, but true facilitators of safety and confidence in an environment where every detail counts. The future promises even smarter operating rooms, where the synergy between healthcare professionals and technology will ensure not only better clinical outcomes, but also a more humane and safer experience for patients.

In short, the mission is clear: to make every surgical procedure more precise, more efficient and, above all, safer.

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

June 10, 2025 tedisel

In the last decade, hybrid operating rooms have established themselves as a key element in the evolution of the modern healthcare system. Thanks to the integration of advanced medical imaging technology with highly complex surgical environments, these spaces allow minimally invasive interventions and complex surgical procedures to be performed simultaneously, without the need to move the patient.

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.

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:

Immediate and accurate diagnosis: Thanks to high-resolution and 3D images, practitioners can obtain accurate information during the procedure.
Less invasive procedures: With advanced image-guided tools, unnecessary cuts and manipulations are minimized.
Increased patient safety: Surgical risk is reduced by avoiding transfers and having a clear view of the patient’s condition in real time.
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. The design of these environments is as complex as the interventions performed in them, which requires high-level architectural and technical solutions.

At Tedisel Medical, we are committed to a model of intelligent hospital architecture, developing state-of-the-art surgical equipment that meets the strictest international standards. Our modular approach not only allows rapid adaptation to new needs, but also improves space efficiency, enhances patient safety and optimizes the performance of healthcare personnel.
