Technology and ergonomics in operating rooms: an integrated approach to safety and efficiency

August 4, 2023 tedisel

Ergonomics in operating room equipment is key to preventing injuries, improving efficiency, and promoting physician and patient safety.

The surgical environment is one of the most demanding and critical places in the area of medicine, with precision and efficiency being two cornerstones of the success of any medical procedure. In this context, ergonomics arises to adapt the work environment to the needs and capacities of health professionals, improving the design and operation of equipment in modern operating rooms.

Their goal is to improve comfort, prevent injury, increase efficiency, and promote safety for medical personnel and patients.

Innovative tools for smart operating rooms

When talking about ergonomics in operating rooms, aspects such as space distribution and control interfaces must be considered. Below we address some key elements in this matter.

Injury prevention and safety of medical personnel

Surgical procedures often involve long hours of work in uncomfortable and repetitive positions. This can lead to musculoskeletal disorders such as back, neck and hand injuries.

Applying ergonomics in the design of the operating room can significantly reduce this type of injury. Thus, among the most common measures are the adjustable height of surgical tables, the use of ergonomic seats or the strategic placement of equipment and supplies.

In addition, in terms of safety, ergonomics can contribute to reducing the risk of nosocomial infections, facilitating cleaning and disinfection of the surgical environment.

Efficiency and productivity in the operating room

A well-organized and designed operating room streamlines workflow, reduces time searching for equipment and supplies, and facilitates communication among the medical team.

On the other hand, the use of suitable ergonomic instruments improves the surgeon’s dexterity and precision, generating a positive impact on the results of surgeries.

For example, the proper arrangement of surgical lights and monitors provide optimal visibility. Likewise, the choice of ergonomic instruments such as forceps and scissors that adapt to the hand, improve dexterity and reduce the surgeon’s fatigue during an operation.

More safety and well-being for the patient

Ergonomics benefits medical staff and has an impact on the quality of patient care. When the medical team works in a comfortable and efficient environment, the margin for error is reduced and concentration and focus on the patient is improved.

The truth is that the less fatigued and more comfortable the health workers feel, the more alert and attentive to details they will be, reducing the risk of accidents and errors.

The most advanced technology

Ergonomics in operating room equipment is also based on the use of advanced technology and state-of-the-art medical equipment.

Ergonomic operating rooms are designed to efficiently integrate modern medical devices -such as Columns and Technical Panels-, taking advantage of technological advances to improve precision and safety in surgeries.

The Diamond glass panel, for example, centralizes all the necessary visual elements in an operating room or critical area. It is compatible with PACS, nursing station and software control. And Q Panel is our reference model in operating rooms, known for its Corian surface and its adaptability in terms of size and components.

Analysing the past to understand the present and glimpse the future. In this new blog post we want to address the most important technological trends in healthcare in 2022.

Cutting-edge technology for medical equipment is here to stay, as we can see in Tedisel Medical’s portfolio, and both in the healthcare field and in other sectors it is clear that the use of artificial intelligence or data analysis to predict situations and make decisions is going to be part of our daily lives.

What are the healthcare technology trends that have stood out in 2022?

In 2022, a HIMSS Future of Healthcare report revealed that 80% of healthcare providers plan to increase investment in technology and digital solutions in the next five years, a fact that highlights the importance that technological tools are gaining in the sector.

1. Digitisation of healthcare

If there is one thing we have seen with the pandemic, it is that healthcare is also becoming increasingly digital, thanks to virtual visits, mobile applications, etc.

In any case, the digital transformation of the healthcare sector is booming and goes far beyond the use of mobile applications to attend to patients, although, as we shall see, this is one of the most basic options for digitising healthcare.

2. Health apps and telemedicine

The HIIMS report estimates that the use of mobile apps to manage certain health conditions will increase over the next three to five years and that, in a changing healthcare landscape, health systems will need to identify areas where they can excel and focus on them, as 40% of all health system leaders surveyed said they expect high competition with large technology companies, including Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft.

3. Automating tasks with artificial intelligence

The goal here is to free up patient care by automating routine tasks with artificial intelligence (AI), to avoid stress and burnout for professionals.

Especially in complex imaging modalities such as CT and MRI, AI-based technology can make it easier for technicians to plan and execute routine examinations, helping them get images right the first time with greater confidence and accuracy.

4. Big data and predictive analytics

Healthcare leaders facing unexpected surges in patient demand are increasingly looking to increase their ability to anticipate and adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. This is done with data. This often comes from the daily management of patient flow, which helps, through the use of Machine Learning technology, to predict analytics, optimise operations, etc.

5. Digital care and remote monitoring

According to the aforementioned study, around 90% of health systems plan to offer digital-first primary care and remote patient monitoring in the next five years. In fact, nearly half of US health systems said they anticipate being able to offer digital specialised care in five years, compared to about 20% today.

How does technology improve patient and health system outcomes?

Technology applied to the healthcare environment, also known as e-health, is set to optimally transform the way doctors and patients interact and how professionals make decisions.

The five technological trends in healthcare in 2022 stand out not only for being innovative, but also for improving the patient experience, facilitating the work of healthcare professionals and, therefore, improving healthcare, reducing costs, minimising errors, etc.

The momentum of healthcare technology in 2023: what advances do we expect?

New technological advances are gaining increasing presence in the provision of healthcare services, offering benefits for professionals and managers as well as for patients.

With the main objective being to improve the quality of care and disease prevention, outstanding technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), more reliable and accessible 3D bioprinting, smart implants, the increase in wearable devices and apps within the framework of the internet of medical things (IoMT), and the integration of big data and its analysis in healthcare systems, will be real pillars of hospital technology in 2023.

Tedisel, collaborator in the most active and supportive ‘La Marató de TV3’

December 19, 2022 tedisel

This Sunday, 18th December, the 31st edition of La Marató de TV3 was held. The traditional daily event of the Catalan public channel has dedicated this year’s edition to cardiovascular diseases, the main cause of death in developed countries and one of the most important public health problems today.

What is cardiovascular disease and how does it affect us globally?

Cardiovascular diseases (which include high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease) affect the heart by narrowing the arteries and reducing the amount of blood it receives, leading to the heart working harder.

According to WHO data, cardiovascular diseases, which include diseases affecting the heart and vascular system – arteries and veins – caused nearly 18 million deaths in 2019, accounting for 32% of all deaths worldwide. These mortality figures add to their chronic nature, which has a direct impact on patients’ quality of life, generating dependence, risk of complications and very high health and socioeconomic costs. All this makes them today’s biggest public health problem.

Moreover, they can affect people of any age and different organs of the body, and they do not give warning.

The most common cardiovascular diseases are:

Heart failure
Myocardial infarction
Stroke
Arterial hypertension
Angina pectoris

Some of the tips/habits that can help us to achieve good cardiovascular health are:

Control blood pressure
Monitor cholesterol levels and measure blood sugar levels.
Keeping active and controlling your weight
Eating a better diet
Not smoking

The importance of scientific research

Unfortunately, some of these diseases have no symptoms and sudden death may be their first manifestation.

Thanks to research in cardiovascular health, we can make progress in prevention, reduce the time to diagnosis, and have less invasive surgical techniques and tailor-made treatments. The goal is to reduce mortality as much as possible and for patients to live longer and with a better quality of life.

And this is precisely what this year’s Marató de TV3, a solidarity project focused on raising funds for scientific research into diseases for which there is currently no cure, is committed to. It is an event that goes beyond fundraising, seeking to raise awareness and sensitize about various diseases and promoting scientific research to prevent and / or cure them.

How to participate in La Marató de TV3?

La Marató 2022 raised 8,034,807 euros at the end of the gala. But there is still time to make a donation. If you want to do your bit, click on this link to choose the way you prefer to make your contribution.

Tedisel Medical, collaborator of ‘La Marató 2022’

Tedisel Medical, in our commitment to support these necessary causes, has collaborated as a partner with the Marató 2022. On this occasion, and as manufacturers of hospital equipment, we have been present with our suspended headboard Atlas, which is part of the project of the ICU of the Hospital del Mar (Barcelona), as you can see in this video.

Atlas is our suspended ceiling system designed to cover all needs and optimise space in critical areas. Thus, its efficiency allows to organise efficiently the work in critical areas, integrating in a single point all the necessary elements to assist the patient and facilitating access, leaving freedom of movement to the health staff.

The importance of health information systems

December 14, 2022 tedisel

The changes and evolution in the patterns of habits and morbidity and mortality in developed countries has led to a modification and adaptation of health information systems in accordance with the real health problems of society.

What is a health information system?

The WHO defined a Health Information System (HIS) as “the structure for the collection, processing, analysis and treatment of information necessary for the organisation and activity of health services, as well as for research and teaching”.

The HIS arose as a response to the need to establish a system for evaluating and monitoring the state of health of the population.

It has always been defined as a tool for the collection, analysis, processing and transmission of the information necessary for the proper functioning and management of health and educational services.

These systems vary in complexity, although they all have three common features; which are:

Data collection
Processing
Analysis and transmission of information

DIAMOND Technical panel + Hermes Software

Purpose and uses of an information system

The main purpose of health information systems is to inform and intervene. The information should focus on assisting decision-making in health care settings.

The information system not only generates a multitude of data, but is also able to provide the right information to the right person in a timely manner. For this, it is necessary that all information is well organised, accurate and accepted by the different actors in the system.

Each system responds to a specific need. However, in general, they are useful for:

Evaluating health programmes that promote the principles of equity, effectiveness and efficiency, in addition to health planning.
Manage health services in pursuit of utilisation and rationalisation of available resources.
Investigate and create aetiological hypotheses.
Understand the health status of the population through epidemiological surveillance of diseases and risk factors.

Benefits of implementation

The implementation of these systems additionally offers a number of benefits for healthcare workers, as they:

Promote the efficient use of economic resources.
Improve clinical patient care, reducing potential errors that may occur.
Speed up the flow of information, making it more reliable and complete.
Allow healthcare professionals to make appropriate decisions.

In this case, one of the great advantages of these systems is the possibility of organising and storing information to facilitate full access to it. This means a significant improvement in productivity, thus avoiding the repetition of tests due to lack of information.

HERMES^®Control software

At Tedisel, we believe in the importance of good information management in order to improve the quality of healthcare.

That is why we offer the Hermes^® Control software

A digital brain that allows to centralize all the controls to obtain data and analysis of the operating rooms or surgical areas.

This is already present in several hospitals around the world and allows:

Intelligent data analysis
It monitors the operating theatre and provides it with all the necessary data for optimal and economical use.

Centralised overview
It allows you to manage the operating room controls and displays from one place.

Easy operation
With its intuitive interface, all functions can be accessed at the touch of a button.

“Health information systems are a great help in the planning and management of information in healthcare establishments. They also make it possible to economise on economic resources for the smooth running of the hospital by carrying out studies on the quality and efficiency of the care provided. “

Tedisel Medical in operating theatres

November 29, 2022 tedisel

The main function in health care once a patient is admitted to an operating theatre is to give him all the care, containment and attention he needs during the course of the surgery and the first hours of recovery.

In this article, we talk about the main functions of an operating theatre, its elements and Tedisel Medical’s participation in them.

Introduction to operating theatres

Operating theatres are surgical intervention areas located in a hospital, specially equipped for the practice of medical operations to patients, both in emergency and programmed actions. For this reason, they must be operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

It is essential that the space that makes up the operating theatre is strictly enclosed, independent from the rest of the hospital area by a series of separators that allow for global and individualised patient care. A team of healthcare professionals will be in charge of preventing any type of spread or infection to other areas of the hospital.

Centro Médico PROCREAR. Reus (SPAIN)

Equipment of a modern operating theatre

The amount of equipment, tools and materials in operating theatres depends on the type of intervention planned. However, there are groups that should be present at all times.

These medical equipment are indispensable devices for all types of hospital environments, and crucial to safeguard the operation, and the life of the patient in hospitals. Among them are the following:

ECG machine
Stress systems
Electrosurgical units
Surgical lamps
Diagnostic ultrasound
Surgical tables and patient beds
Sterilisers
Defibrillators
Patient monitors
Temperature and humidity meters
Air heater

The success of operations: lighting

The most important thing in order to haver a complete operating theatre is to be fully integrated with the best equipment. However, there are a number of requirements and conditions that must be met in order to achieve excellent productivity and safety for both patient and practitioners.

The success of surgical interventions depends on the environment in which the professionals work. In this sense, the lighting system is a fundamental factor in improving conditions in such critical work.

This lighting system is made up of various types of lamps, where we can highlight mainly the ceiling installation lamps and even floor lamps.

Thanks to them, it is guaranteed that proper visibility is maintained throughout the operating theatre, without generating any type of glare, and avoiding eye fatigue for optimum medical performance.

From Tedisel Medical we offer a set of systems that improve the integration of equipment, among them we highlight:

Suspended column systems also optimise space in operating theatres, guaranteeing a rapid response for medical staff and patients, providing ergonomic and safe interventions. In addition, the possibility of integrating a motorised system ensures better vertical movement, which together with its two rails can be used to adapt different types of accessories, such as trays, lamps, medical baskets and more. In addition, it is worth mentioning that there are different arms to provide the maximum mobility required in the operating room, bringing the material and accessories closer to the medical staff and the patient.

Finally, we also have our control and display panels in Glass and Corian. These models allow the integration of different touch or display screens, electrical components, clocks and many other elements, which allow all the controls, elements and displays necessary for an operating theatre to be focused. In addition, the front doors can be adapted and adjusted to different elements, features and accessories.

“All these systems allow the reduction of the use of electrical cables in the operating room, optimise space and improve the movement of equipment to meet the needs of the patient. “

This encompasses the main objectives of a fully equipped and secured operating room for optimal performance and safety capable of performing surgical operations.
