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.

In short, ergonomics in operating room equipment is essential to guarantee safety and efficiency in the surgical environment.

Preventing injuries to medical personnel and improving the precision of procedures makes all the difference in the outcome of surgery. For this reason, it is vital that hospitals and medical centers apply ergonomic principles in their operating rooms and have the latest medical equipment to provide a comfortable and safe working environment for professionals and improve the quality of care and patient safety.

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.

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
Table control

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.
