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.
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.
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 key question is:
how does all this benefit the patient?
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.
Imagine a complex cardiac surgery. The operating room is equipped with:
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.
Despite advances, the implementation of technology in operating rooms faces challenges:
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.
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.
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.
Hospital Viamed Salud plans to inaugurate this summer the opening of its new hospital in Tarragona, an innovative center. With an investment of more than 50 million euros, this new healthcare infrastructure will become a benchmark for sustainability, digitalization and clinical excellence, not only in the province but also at national level.

One of the main technological innovations is the installation of Tedisel Medical’s QPanels in the operating rooms. These modular and digital panels allow centralizing the control of multiple operating room systems (such as lighting, air flow, cameras or surgical equipment), improving the efficiency of medical work and patient safety.
Their integration responds to Viamed’s objective of building a completely digital and paperless hospital, where technology is fully at the service of healthcare.
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.
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.
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.
The advantages of these intelligent surgical environments are manifold and decisive for modern medical care:
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
