Digital Operating Room Platform – Built To Adapt To Change
Afully digital operating room (OR) platform functions as a clever information gateway interacting, streaming, recording, and enhancing at the touch of a finger. Patient data can be selected from any kind of electronic medical record like PACS or HIS and all the pre-operative information is immediately available. Latest technological advancements in operating theatres include imaging techniques, and the touch screen/voice control ability helps a lot to replay the entire surgical procedure. It is expected that such high end digital ORs will contribute to learning and teaching and to the quality of surgery so that surgeons are best assisted with complex operative tasks and decision-making.
The trend is toward tailor made solutions to address specific needs of doctors offering the most efficient and cost-effective medical engineering, electro-mechanical, and interior fit-out services. The operation theater (OT) is an infection resistant and durable setup that combines a broad spectrum of latest medical devices into one organic solution.
Automation tools are helping customize 3D designs for the hospital OR and facilitating import for true-scale 3D design and allowing a walkthrough function in the 3D environment. Modular ORs are constructed with readymade prefabricated panels, with speedy constructions, and high-quality finish and flexible to future expansion and maintenance without interrupting other functioning departments. State-of-the-art anesthesia workstations, latest technology LED surgical lights, and fully flexible OT tables with various attachments have all contributed toward digitization of OR. The OT table is where all the action happens. It can be easily operated by the entire team and caters to all weights and surgical applications. LED-based OT light is specially designed to assist the critical operation procedures with ease of helping surgeons to focus the bright light where it is required, technologically designed to perk up the surgical efficiency. The surgeon can set the color temperature according to the tissue structure, the surgical application, and individual color sensitivity. On the other hand it is possible to increase the contrast by using higher color temperatures, which support the surgeon’s concentration. That is how today’s ORs are continuously evolving, due to the arrival of new medical equipments and technological advancements.
