The document discusses the specifications and equipment needed for an operating room. It defines an operating room as a sterile facility within a hospital where surgeries are performed. Key operating room equipment includes surgical lights to provide bright lighting without shadows, monitors to measure patient vitals, anesthesia machines to assist breathing during surgery, and various sterilization methods and protocols to ensure a sanitary environment and prevent contamination. Proper sterilization, cleaning, airflow, laundry, and handwashing are emphasized as important for maintaining operating room safety.

5. SURGEON & ASSISTANT EQUIPMENT
-Apron-protects from blood stains
-Caps-protective cap covering hair

6. - SURGEON & ASSISTANT EQUIPMENT
-Shoes, shoe covers
-Surgical gloves-prevents contamination
between doctor & patients

7. SURGEON & ASSISTANT EQUIPMENT
-Masks-Present over their lower face
covering mouth &noses
-Glasses-over their eyes

8. OPERATING ROOM EQUIPMENT

9. OPERATING TABLE
- Table on which the patient lies during surgical operation

10. SURGICAL LIGHTS
-
Operating lights are kept over the table to provide bright light
without shadow during surgery

11. MONITORS
-Continuously measures certain parameters
-Example-glucose monitoring with glucometer

12. -Cardiac monitor
-Tohave continuous ECG

13. -PULSE OXIMETRY
Involves measurement of the saturated
percentage of oxygen in blood

14. ANAESTHESIA MACHINE
-Assists patients breathing during surgery

15. -HEART LUNG MACHINE

16. STERILIZATION & DECONTAMINATION
OF SURGICAL THEATRES
BASIC PRINCIPLES
1--Cleaning removes contaminants, dust, organic matter
2—Disinfection reduces number of microbes

17. What is wrong with our practices
-1-Disinfectants used indiscriminately,
-2-Used unnecessarily
-3-Concentration not adequate
-4-Economic consideration

18. STERILIZATION
--Sterilization is absolute, removes
microbes and spores too.
--Toachieve sterilization is expensive
not sustainable, many times not
needed.
--An effective sterilization reduces the
infections drastically.

19. BASIC CARE OF OT
--Keep the floor clean and
dry-bacteria are reduced
--Keep the mops dry when
not in use
--Don’t use chemicals
--Use only when contaminated
with blood &body fluids

20. HANDLING OF AIR IN OT
-- Negative air pressure is vented to the
operation theatre
--Environmental cleaning should be
twice daily

21. IMPORTANCE OF HAND WASHING
-SOAP
-WATER
AND
COMMON SENSE
-YET THE BEST ANTI-SEPTIC

22. PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF HOSPITAL LAUNDRY
--Clean and adequate quantity of
washed linen
--Supply to be made on regular basis
--Steps to be taken to prevent cross
infection
--Mechanized laundry is the best service
method of linen supply
