Introduction

This seminar is a general introduction to the operating room in order to


familiarize with their environment and facilitate the educational objectives of
chapters that will follow namely:
Chapter 1: Operating Room Equipment Technology
Chapter 2: Sterilization Equipment Technology
Chapter 3: Technology of Anesthesia and Resuscitation Devices
Definition

The operating room is a facility dedicated to


invasive actions performed regardless of the
the method and the purpose, by making use of
suitable equipment and by bringing together all the
required medical and paramedical skills
to ensure the safety of patients.

According to Gandjbakhch (2009, p. 1),


I. Structure of the operating room

The operating room is a set of 5 main sectors:

The reception hall for patients, staff, and medical devices


The operating rooms
The recovery room
The support premises (the block pharmacy, the washing room of
instruments, office of the block manager,...
The premises of the staff (changing rooms, restrooms, break room, ..)

I.1. Architectural Design

The architectural design of the operating room stems from a


medical project expressed by the users (surgeons)
designed by architects, advised by engineers
(biomedical and research offices.
There are as many architectural designs as there are blocks.
operational.

However, there are common rules that we must


find in any operating room design

There are several principles for the construction of operating rooms,


generally there are two methods:

Conventional construction (concrete, brick, ..)

Modular construction (prefabricated elements assembled on site)

The following elements can be distinguished:
1. patient access

to ensure patients' access to

The operational function leads us to distinguish three


additional premises to better manage the process
of the operation and to ensure its success.

The items to be cleaned and disinfected are the
common mobile equipment of operating rooms

fans or monitors.

II. Flows and fluids

The flows and fluids are studied during the design phase.
because once the room is built, it is difficult to make changes.
modifications.
Located in the operating rooms but also throughout
the hospital, they are subject to numerous regulatory texts in order to
to ensure the safety of the patient as well as that of the users.
We find texts of a mandatory nature such as the decree
October 22, 1982 (safety of gas dispensing devices) or
still non-mandatory standards such as FD S90-155 [11].
II. 1. Ventilation

Ventilation is one of the most important elements to ensure a


good level of asepsis in the operating room. It prevents
the introduction or stagnation in the particle operation room
susceptible to infecting a surgical wound
it provides continuous decontamination and ensures comfort of
patient as well as the surgical team.
The ventilation system also regulates the temperature.

II.2. Medical fluids

Medical fluids or medical gases are elements that are part of the
medical devices (D.M.)

Based on the standard NF EN ISO 7396-1 (AFNOR, 2007), a complete system


to manage medical fluids includes a power supply unit,
pipeline network and wall outlets at points where medical gases
or evacuations of anesthetic gases may be required.

so that all the planned activities in the room can be carried out
optimally while limiting the costs associated with oversizing
(take into account the connection points of the distribution arms).

Additionally, in order to facilitate the working conditions of users, their


positioning must be considered in advance and the type of grip must be
clairement identifiable par des couleurs (rouge pour les prises ondulées,…).
II.3. Weak Current/Computer Network

The computer network is very important because it will allow for the transmission of
and to store various data. Indeed, many medical devices
can be networked and it is therefore necessary to plan for the sockets
