Tedisel Medical in operating theatres

November 29, 2022 tedisel Medical equipment, Operating Rooms, suspended columns, technical panel

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:

  1. ECG machine
  2. Stress systems
  3. Electrosurgical units 
  4. Surgical lamps
  5. Diagnostic ultrasound
  6. Surgical tables and patient beds 
  7. Sterilisers
  8. Defibrillators
  9. Patient monitors
  10. Temperature and humidity meters
  11. Air heater
  12. 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.

The revolution we are experiencing in healthcare, especially in the wake of the pandemic, is the result of improvements in technology and digitization, whether for the design of hospitals, operating theatres, new intervention techniques, patient care… 

 

 

The commitment to innovation and technology for our well-being

The technology & innovation binomial is behind the paradigm shift in our health and well-being. 

Thanks to their mutual understanding, and with hospital engineering, Big Data, IoMT and 5G as a backdrop, we obtain millions of health care data every day, allowing us to reformulate health policies and make informed decisions. And by equipping healthcare workers with better tools, medical and care errors are being reduced like never before.

The use of innovative portable medical devices such as calorie or exercise trackers, oximeters, etc., together with the growth of telemedicine applications and platforms, virtual reality in health, robotic surgery or even artificial organs, represent a before and after in medicine.

 

Growth of telemedicine applications and platforms, virtual reality in health or robotic surgery

 

 

The Covid-19 pandemic as a driver of innovation in the health sector

One of the main consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the drive for innovation in healthcare, promoting new and better technologies to tackle any healthcare challenge of this magnitude.

Whether out of obligation, necessity or a desire for cutting-edge innovation in healthcare, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for innovative technologies that improve health outcomes, providing rapid solutions even in environments where infrastructure and resources are scarce. 

 

 

 

The telemedicine push

New methods and systems for health management and monitoring were catapulted during the collapse of healthcare facilities in the pandemic. 

The enormous problems of face-to-face healthcare generated the need to promote telemedicine, an option that has opened up a new landscape of medical care and telematic monitoring. This is the use of ICT (information technology) in remote healthcare, whether to diagnose, monitor or treat the patient.

Videoconferencing, the use of smartphone apps to monitor our health, remote procedures and other telemedicine tools represent significant financial and logistical savings for healthcare systems, facilitating personalised care at any time of day from a single platform. In addition, it reinforces security and the need for real and up-to-date information for patients with complicated health situations.  

 

“Video consultations, digital telemedicine kits and the use of artificial intelligence for diagnosis are a health trend that is here to stay.”

October 19, 2022 tedisel Critical Areas, Medical equipment, Operating Rooms, technical panel

Technical panels are one of the essential devices in every operating theatre and critical area. And in recent years, advances in design and functionality have led to significant innovation in their use and finishes.

 

 

What are technical panels and what are they used for?

Technical panels are a fundamental part of every hospital’s medical equipment. Their ergonomic and customised design allows centralised control of the operating theatre status, as well as supplying electricity.

These equipment, adaptable to the needs of the operating room, have different sizes and a variety of control and communication accessories. 

Although Corian is the ideal material due to its high resistance to chemical products, easy cleaning and disinfection, they can be manufactured in different materials, always offering safety and reliability. 

In addition to its functionality, the high quality and customisable finishes give the wall recessed installation an optimal final result.

 

 

 

Why are they so innovative?

Their modernisation and customisation makes it possible to complete an optimal workplace design, adapting them to the structural conditions, use and individual work processes. 

They are compatible with technical equipment and save costs and time through their installation, durability, reliability and user-friendliness. And thanks to their easy-to-clean surface, infections are prevented. At the same time, the healing of patients is stimulated by promoting a pleasant and comfortable environment for both patients and staff. 

And ultimately, in addition to its excellent functionality, the hospital projects a modern and personalised image.

 

 

 

What models do we have at Tedisel?

At Tedisel Medical we specialise in the manufacture of medical equipment for hospitalisation, critical areas and operating theatres. 

Among our devices and medical equipment, the Q Panel and Diamond panels stand out.

Control software for operating theatres and critical areas

April 26, 2022 tedisel Critical Areas, Hospitals, Operating Rooms

Nowadays, hospital software is an essential support in hospital management. By automating numerous tasks and centralising information, we can reduce effort, time and errors. A technology that will allow the hospital, and especially the operating theatres, to achieve excellence in terms of patient care and maximum efficiency.

 

 

 

Full integration in operating theatres: what is hospital software?

The challenges of surgical integration are the order of the day. An operating room is a highly complex environment, whether it is a traditional operating room, a hybrid operating room… To solve and address these challenges, we have technological advances that are increasing the volume of devices in the operating room designed to solve all kinds of problems.

Operating theatres accumulate independent devices, monitors, complementary systems and other materials. Each with its own interface or hardware. And therein lies one of the main problems: the lack of a global vision of the data and the situation, with the consequent loss of time, increased costs, inefficiency, saturation, lack of security? 

This is where hospital software comes in. 

This is a computer system that integrates the management of the different areas that make up a health centre, such as the medical appointments agenda, patient hospitalisation, medical orders, administrative management, etc. 

In the case of operating theatres and critical hospital areas, these systems facilitate their automation and control. Under a single element, they encompass all the data and access to audio, screens, videos, lighting or controls, allowing greater efficiency for the surgical staff.

 

“Integrating systems for the automation and control of operating rooms facilitates, at the same time, turning off / suspending monitors and other devices at will, such as lighting, surgical screens, camera systems, image capture devices, monitors and medical printers within the operating room, eliminating possible stumbling blocks caused by wiring.

 

 

 

 

Hospital software functions

These programmes provide extremely useful data to support decision making, unifying and organising all the information handled by a complex centre such as a hospital, and allowing all types of queries and reports. Thanks to them, within the operating theatre and critical areas, we can manage in a single element:

 

  • Clinical records: Having access to the clinical records with detailed information on patients, whether personal data, prescriptions, interventions, medical condition, treatments, diagnoses, etc. We will also be able to monitor the patient’s evolution and generate reports, images of diagnostic practices or consult laboratory results.
  • Control of the facilities: We will have information about the operating room in real time, consult the history of the operations carried out in each of the rooms and guarantee the good condition of the facilities. 

 

In addition to these two main functions, the most common software in hospitals include other options such as:

  • The optimisation of stock and the allocation of boxes and operating theatres.
  • Document action
  • Control of prescriptions between departments
  • Equipment maintenance
  • Information flow between specialists
  • Admissions, history and diagnoses of each patient
  • Communication with the patient via email, message…
  • Create invoices and control costs
  • Organisation of healthcare staff

 

 

 

 

Advantages of hospital software

On a general level within a hospital, the advantages of installing a hospital software include:

  • Optimising the capacity to respond to hospital innovations.
  • Streamlining and monitoring of hospital management processes
  • High-quality, personalised service that differentiates you from your competitors
  • Minimising costs and patient waiting times
  • Accurately collect and analyse data from medical records
  • Support decision making through the use of data analytics

 

If we extrapolate these benefits to operating theatres, we will see that one of the main advantages of opting for these systems is that they adapt to both low-complexity operating theatres and complex, high-volume operating theatres, hybrid operating theatres, etc. 

In addition, the systems for the automation and control of operating theatres allow healthcare personnel to perfectly locate the equipment in the operating theatre space. 

Moreover, by designing an integrated OR, space is maximised to allow staff to operate around the OR more effectively. It is also a crucial element in organising all patient data for surgical staff during a procedure, minimising congestion and simplifying information across platforms. This translates into greater productivity, safety and efficiency in patient care.

Within this global and integrated vision, these systems are optimal from pre-surgical management itself, as they provide the necessary tools to verify the state of preparation of the operating room and the necessary resources of the operating room, through intraoperative management and into the postoperative phase, where patient documentation can be completed and reviewed and the care to be received can be recorded.

 

Reimagining the control of the operating room with Hermes

At Tedisel Medical, as expert manufacturers of hospital equipment for hospitalisation areas, critical areas and surgical blocks, we know the importance of choosing the right software for hospitals. This is the case of Hermes, the digital brain that allows centralising all the controls and obtaining data and analysis of the operating theatre or critical area. 

This software, present in hospitals all over the world, is compatible with all our technical panels, so if you need to integrate this technological solution in your hospital, we will inform you, advise you and undertake the whole project according to your needs.

 

“Hermes is able to supervise the operating theatre and provide all the necessary data for optimal and economical use, managing the operating theatre controls and screens from a single place through an intuitive interface that allows access to all functions with a single touch.

 

Así, este software incluye las siguientes características y funciones: 

  • Controlar y centralizar todo el quirófano en una pantalla
  • Análisis y control de datos
  • Varios cronómetros
  • Alarma de gases
  • Control de la música
  • Fácil de usar
  • Pantalla táctil y de visualización

 

The best hospital management software for operating theatres

Now that you know the main uses and benefits of hospital software, it is no less important to know that 6 out of 10 companies fail to choose such solutions for their operating theatres and critical areas.

With Hermes in the OR, equipment and devices will be managed in unison, centrally, creating a safer and cleaner OR environment. Hermes is specifically designed and tested for use in the critical wards of healthcare facilities.

Motor arm systems for critical areas and operating rooms

April 4, 2022 tedisel Critical Areas, Hospitals, Operating Rooms

Technology achieves what humans cannot. Also in the field of health. There are countless tools to facilitate and complement the experience and work of medical professionals in hospitals and health centers, also achieving better, higher quality, more efficient and safer patient care.

 

Technology is the engine that drives the development and evolution of many sectors, including the healthcare industry. For decades, we have seen how innovation and technology in hospitals give a boost to health systems, improving their processes.

The main objective of tools for the health sector is usually to facilitate the work of doctors and the medical team and, of course, reduce human error. In this sense, an example of technology in hospitals are motor arm systems, especially in critical areas and operating rooms.

 

 

What are motor arm systems?

One of the most common medical instruments in hospitals are motor arm systems or articulated arm systems, whose advantages and benefits are multiple.

This system is an instrument made with innovative technology to facilitate surgical interventions and, at the same time, help in the recovery and well-being process of patients who have undergone surgery.

This type of medical equipment is composed of a modern mechanical structure that works, as its name indicates, as a kind of mechanical, articulated or motorized arms.

It is a modular system that offers surgeons and doctors the possibility of carrying out an infinite number of large, specific and immediate movements. Therefore, its use is common both in operating rooms and critical areas to carry out surgerys, intensive therapies, etc.

 

What are motor arm systems for?

This medical instrument has several functionalities that are concentrated in a single machine:

  • Serves as a source of electrical energy
  • Supplies gases and lighting
  • It can rotate on its own axis, facilitating its handling by the specialized medical team

 

Thanks to these characteristics and a versatile profile, motor arm systems are an added value and a guarantee for patients and doctors. Its qualities make it possible to significantly reduce possible complications in an operation. And therefore, they contribute to the successful completion of the surgery. In fact, on occasion, the use of this system can save the life of a patient.

 

 

 

Main functions of motor arm systems

These instruments for hospital use go beyond acting as arms. We are going to highlight what its basic functions are:

 

Adaptability and ergonomics

Due to its characteristics and versatility, it could be considered that the use of articulated arm systems requires a lot of space. However, this is not the case. This medical equipment allows to regulate the range of mobility depending on the available space. In addition, the different modules are removable and, once installed, the configuration can be changed easily in order to improve its operability according to the needs of the surgery and the healthcare personnel.

It is important that both the installation and configuration of this device for medical use is carried out by qualified personnel, with experience and knowledge of its operation.

In addition to adapting to space, thanks to its ergonomic design, it also adapts to the physique (height, for example) of the doctor. In addition, the change of positions also helps the staff not have to adopt uncomfortable positions that can cause damage or some type of pathology or injury.

 

Heads

It has a whole series of heads, so the motorized arms adapt to them. It also has hospital accessories and medical components and various supply modules. For all this, they facilitate the application and implementation of all kinds of medical strategies and techniques in operating rooms and critical areas.

These heads also provide the motor arm system with great agility and maneuverability to easily and immediately reach places where the human arm cannot.

On the other hand, it should be noted that, thanks to its intelligent design, the main head of this system has a command center that controls all the systems that are connected to it.

 

Illumination

Although the most attractive thing about this type of system is its ability to move and position, it is also important to highlight the high quality of its professional lighting system.

 

Supply modules

They allow the realization of medical connections in order to use all kinds of medical elements and equipment as well as medicinal gases. In addition, it should be reiterated that the provision of these modules is immediate, so that any surgical procedure has all the medical and safety guarantees.

 

Mobility

One of the great abilities and characteristics of the articulated arm systems is their rotary system, which allows total and absolute mobility in any type of space.

Its ability to perform all kinds of movements and adopt infinite positions, boosts the development of the operation and the movement of the medical team in the operating room. In this sense, we must not forget either the ease of use and directing it by specialists.

 

 

 

Brake system

Thanks to the brakes, the movement and position is adjusted to the exact point required by medical professionals quickly and easily.

At this point, functionality such as color coding to move or stop the instruments should also be highlighted.

 

A hygienic system

Hospitals in general, and operating rooms and critical areas in particular, are spaces that require a high level of hygiene and asepsis. In this sense, motor arm systems do not affect the hygiene of the space.

This hospital engineering system is made with materials that prevent the presence and proliferation of bacteria. At the same time, each of the plugins is designed regularly and hermetically. In addition, the surface is smooth, so its cleaning is not complex.

Due to all these characteristics, it is possible to confirm that this system reduces the possibility of cultivating risk microorganisms.

 

Versatility

This equipment has several functions and you can choose one or the other depending on the needs of the medical team. Furthermore, as it is modular it can be adapted to any type of space and to healthcare professionals. Thanks to this versatility, after installation, medical services often experience significant improvements and efficiency in relation to operations, etc.

 

Quick and remote control

In surgical operations, the outcome of the surgery or the lives of patients can become success or failure in a matter of seconds. That is why it is important that the control of this system is fast and remotely. This facilitates its use and agility.

In addition, rapid movements are often essential in any surgical process for its effectiveness and for the health of the person intervened.

Remote control makes it easy to handle motor arm systems remotely. Just by pressing a button, the arm rotates to the desired position without any need to move it manually or by applying force.

 

 

Benefits

Taking into account all the characteristics and main functions of motor arm systems, we could say that their main advantages are:

  • Its versatile profile: it supplies light, energy, gases …
  • It has great agility and ease of movements and positions.
  • It is easy to operate.
  • Professional and quality lighting.
  • Fast and rigorous motion control.

 

 

Conclusions

Like other hospital engineering instruments, motor arm systems have become an essential tool for the majority of hospitals that install them in their operating rooms and critical areas due to the many advantages that they represent for healthcare activities.

January 12, 2022 tedisel Critical Areas, Operating Rooms

It’s helpful to know the keys for the optimization of electrical safety in hospitals, only then can you know what are the aspects to be taken into account when making sure you have the ideal conditions to reduce and eliminate risks.

 

Safety comes first, it is what is said in all work areas where the life of each worker is to be preserved. However,  in the hospital context it represents an obligation also with patients.

Fortunately, we are experts in the field of electrical safety in hospitals, so we will talk to you from experience,  letting you know the guidelines that we handle when we provide advice on electrical safety.

 

It is important to do conduct basic tests to know how is the electrical system

When we intend to do an audit in hospitals in order to know the current status of the electrical systems,  we always apply a series of tests that give us results based on which an action plan can be developed to correct failures and risks.

In fact, there are a number of tests that help, and it’s necessary to start by checking the quality of the wiring, because that will depend on the proper functioning of the equipment and that the electrical energy supply can be stemmed.

 

The acumen of expert auditors in electrical safety for hospitals

Usually these tests are done using state of the art equipment. We rely on the best technology.

However, experience is also requested, because some of the tests consist of visual acuity.

To make  the tests visually, you have to rely on experts, who are dedicated to conducting audits, and that represent success stories, that way you will ensure the quality of the inspection.

 

Correct distribution: another key to the optimization of electrical safety

Claves para la optimización de la seguridad eléctrica en hospitales - distribución eléctrica correcta

The distribution of electrical energy is crucial for the electrical safety in hospitals.

That is why another key for the optimization of the electrical safety of hospitals is to know the best way to make the distribution of the supply, that way the regular procedures will be carried out effectively.

To do this, it’s essential to proceed to divide the alternating current in two levels, however, this is not something that should be done lightly, you need to rely on experts who are in charge of designing the ideal plan for the division and structure of the alternating current.

However, to give you an idea, the levels to be divided can be the following:

  • Electricity for an emergency system
  • Electricity for an equipment system

 

This is how safety circuits can be created and thus be able to safeguard the life and safety of each patient.

The equipment system must focus specifically on supplying power to the main equipments, which is vital for the care and continuous treatment of patients.

The best thing that can be done is rely on the experts. At ETKHO we advise you on electrical safety and offer the highest quality equipment for hospital critical areas.

How to avoid risks in hospital electrical installations

January 10, 2022 tedisel Operating Rooms

Risks in hospital electrical installations can lead to very serious situations. That is why care must be taken and a perfect electrical safety should be provided.

 

There are certain considerations that must be taken into account to know how to avoid risks in hospital electrical installations, so that accidents can be prevented.

In fact, we must bear in mind that the main causes of risks in hospital electrical installations are:

  • Defective wiring
  • Equipment in poor condition
  • Leakage currents in equipment
  • Do not follow the rules of good use of the equipment
  • Do not follow usage regulations of the equipment
  • Among others

 

According to experts, electrical problems represents the second cause of fire in hospitals.

All of the above reinforces  the need for experts in electrical safety for these types of facilities in hospitals.

 

Why should hospital electrical installations in critical areas be audited?

Critical areas are exposed to two fundamental risks when electrical installations do not have the proper design and plan:

 

Macroshock

These can cause:

  • Severe burns
  • Death, due to the currents flowing through the skin, of the order of microamps
  • Muscle contractions

 

It is important that the risks produced by such scenarios in hospital electrical installations are eliminated.

 

Microshock

These are the currents that could flow through tissues and skin, of the order of microamps.

They occur mostly where they are used:

  • Pacemaker
  • Conductors such as catheters or others invasive

 

These could cause heart failure. In these faults, leakage currents are also involved. This type of risk can be avoided by using electrical insulation panels.

 

Aspects to understand how to avoid risks in hospital electrical installations

Some of the most frequent risks, which are identified when assessing the likelihood of accidents:

  • Direct contact with an active part without installation failure, these contacts with active part are 220 V
  • Incorrect handling of equipment, which could cause leakage currents
  • For this, an Isolated Power System is implemented, which is additional to the preventive maintenance plan that could avoid such leaks.
