Operation Theater

 OPERATION THEATER

       Operation theater i.e. ot is a particular place where all surgeries including new born care unit takes place .  It is a sterile area . OT compound is maintaining under ot technologist . It is a area including various type of OT and blood bank , ITU , ICU , PACU , doctors room , sisters room , technologist room , sisters room  and a massive storage area for all instrument used in the OT . 

 

 

Advantages 

 1 Better ot allocation 

 2  Minimize infection

 3 better maintenence

TYPES  OF OT 

1 based of sterility  1 . ultra sterility ( CTVS , ITU ) 2 . Sterile and 3  septic ,( where all emergency surgery takes place ) 

2 Based on construction . i.e modular which is construct during moder technologies and based ot ( which is a normal ot ) 

3 Based on timing 1  scudule ot 2 emergency ot  

 

 Zones in operation theater

      protective zones   pre and post operative room  ,  IUC and PACU

          Clean zone 

         Aseptic zones 

          Disposal zones 

   

               

 

   Pre or Post anaesthetic care units (PACU) - preferably adjacent to recovery room. These should contain a     medication station, hand washing station, nurse sta­tion, storage space for stretchers, supplies and moni­tors / equipment and gas, suction outlets and ventila­tor. Additionally 80 sq ft (7.43 sq m) for each patient bed, clearance of 5 ft (1.5 m) between beds and 4 ft (1.22m) between patient bed sides and adjacent walls should be planned .

 

 

  • operation rooms

The number & size can be as per the requirement but recommended size is 6.5 m x 6.5m x 3.5 m. Glass windows can be planned on one side only.

 

Doors : Main door to the OT complex has to be of adequate width (1.2 to 1.5 m). The doors of each OT should be spring loaded flap type, but sliding doors are pre­ferred as no air currents are generated. All fittings in OT should be flush type and made of steel

 

The surface / flooring must be slip resistant, strong & impervious with minimum joints or jointless conductive tiles/ terrazzo, linoleum etc., The recommended minimum con­ductivity is 1m ohm and maximum 10m Ohms.

 

Walls- Laminated polyester or smooth paint provides seamless wall; tiles can break and epoxy paint can chip out .

Operation table : One operation table per OT

 

Electric point : Adequate electric points on the wall (at < 1.5 m height from the floor) (discussed later)

 

X-Ray illuminators : There should be X-ray film illu­minators preferably recessed into the wall.

 

Scrub area : to be planned for atleast for 2-3 persons in each Ot .

 

 

     So all about a operation theater complex

Anatomy and Physiology of aterial line

  Anatomy and Physiology The arterial pulse may be palpated in the extremities and the neck. With the knowledge of the contour of these vessels, the operator may easily identify the location of the artery. The anatomy of every site of insertion must be analyzed to determine the landmarks, the depth, the relationship to adjacent anatomical structures, and the size of the artery.   The radial artery is superficial in the thenar area of the wrist where the radial bone joins the metacarpal bones. There, the radial pulse is best felt slightly medial to the extensor tendons of the thumb. The radial artery is a preferred site of insertion. The ulnar artery is opposite to the radial pulse in the volar aspect of the wrist at the joint of the ulnar bone to the metacarpal bones. The artery divides into 2 branches, both of which join a similar division of the radial artery to form a rich, collateral network known as the deep and superficial palma...

GallBladder ot ?? what is it ?

We all know about gallbladder operation and it is very common to heard from old aged person and gallbladder stone . but some it comes to our mind how it is formed ? and all something about that .     gallbladder is a very vital part of our body which secrets some engyme helps to digest compound and complex  food which we take . one end comes from it , called cystic duct which later collabed with common bile duct . and jointly conduct in duodenum .       We comes to know a little bit of  anatomy in the above passage . But here the main points comes where and why stone which formed of CaCo3 and Na+ , Ca+ , k+ ion .

Choosing the option between fibula plate and nail

 Fibula is the secondary bone of our leg which connects knee to ankle along aside tibia as a secondary part .  It usually  broke along aside tibia as an evidence of major accident  There is two option to fix it .  Firstly we are choosing  about fibula nail as a simple procedure .  Surgeon needs only a pliers and nail after creating a port according to its position to fix it under the guidance of c arm .  If Surgeon go for here need to open the fracture to fix plate on the area . And needs for clam k wire and other nessary things to fix the fracture.   Why the options?  Surgeon choose the options according to the fracture  , if the fracture line goes vertically ways or the both part of fibula resting perfectly and doesn't dislocated from its own  position  , surgeon goes for nail fixation.   If the fracture is not showing properly in x ray and both end of the bone misplaced after the injury or fracture line...
