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

Patient Shifting from O.T to Post Operative Care ( Part 2)

Standard of Practice II It is the responsibility of the HCWs to safely transport a patient to the preoperative holding area or operating room. Confirm IV lines, indwelling catheters, monitoring system lines and drains, and any other lines are secure and patent, and IV bag and collection containers are hanging away from the patient’s head.. Ensure head, arms and legs are protected, adequately padded, and patient is comfortable as possible. . The patient should be transported feet first; rapid movements, particularly when going around a corner should be avoided. Rapid movements, especially if the patient has received preoperative medications, can cause the patient to become disoriented, dizzy, and nauseated, and induce vomiting .. The staff person moving the transportation device should be positioned at the patient’s head in order to look forward for potential hazards. This also allows immediate access to the patient’s airway in case of respiratory distress or vomiting...

the abdominal arota branches

The abdominal aorta in a nutshell The abdominal aorta is a continuation of the descending thoracic aorta . It supplies all of the abdominal organs , and its terminal branches go on to supply the pelvis and lower limbs . It also supplies the undersurface of the diaphragm and parts of the abdominal wall . It begins at T12 and ends at L4 , where it divides into the right and left common iliac arteries . It enters the abdomen through the aortic opening of the diaphragm , which is located beneath the median arcuate ligament between the crura of the diaphragm at T12 . It is accompanied through the aortic opening by the azygos vein and the thoracic duct . It is located on th e posterior abdominal wall in the retroperitoneal space of the abdomen. It descends on the left of the inferior vena cava (IVC) over the anterior surface of the bodies of the lumbar vertebrae and follows the curvature...
