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
