What is an Operating Room?
An operating room (OR) is a spacious, sterile room where surgeons perform procedures on patients.
Types of Operating Rooms
There are various types of operating theatres depending on the type of surgery being performed. These include general, orthopaedic, neurological, spinal, urological and cardiac/thoracic.
The reason there are different types of operating theatres is because different surgeries require different equipment and staff. The staff must have access and enough space to move the equipment needed for each type of surgery.
For example, if a patient is having spinal surgery in the spine OR, it is not uncommon for the surgeon to be in the room using a C-arm to perform x-rays. If a patient is in the cardiac/thoracic operating room for a direct cardiac procedure, the perfusionist will run the heart-lung machine in the room. If a patient is having general surgery, such as an appendectomy, they will go into the general operating room, which is much smaller than the orthopaedic operating room where the patient is having a hip or knee replacement.
How to setting up an operating room？
A typical operating theatre has the following equipment:
1. Operating table
The operating table is the breathing, lifeline of the hospital. Without this equipment, surgeons would not be able to successfully complete their surgical tasks. Multi-speciality hospitals have several operating theatres for use by different departments, and requirements may vary from department to department. Each offers versatility, durability and ease of use for patient positioning. Available in electric and manual, hydraulic and other types, there are different operating tables for different types of surgeries for different purposes.
Universal Operating Tables
The universal operating table will support a variety of patient positions, including Trendelenburg, supine, prone, etc. It will also assist the C-arm in fluoroscopy and other imaging operations during procedures that require surgery. Its versatility makes the general surgical table the market leader in the surgical table market. Hospitals that specialise in neurology, orthopaedics, urology, internal medicine and other types of surgery will want to purchase an operating table designed specifically for that procedure. This can improve performance and facilitate access to certain tools.

3.Ceiling Pendant
Ceiling-mounted equipment booms have been added to the operating theatre. Each boom has a series of arms that hold a variety of items such as surgical lights, flat screens and equipment. They are also equipped with utilities such as electrical outlets and oxygen. By being ceiling mounted, the amount of equipment that is on the floor and has to be moved during the cleaning process can be minimised.
5 Factors you need to consider when choosing a ceiling pendant:
- Consider the height of the operating theatre in relation to the height of the tower, so as to prevent a situation where the tower is not tall enough for the doctor to reach.
- Whether the pendant tower can be rotated 340°, which will help you to easily use tools, gases, lighting, etc.
- Consider whether the pendant can be adapted to British BS standard, French NF standard, German DIN standard, anaesthesia gas scavenging system standard and so on.
- Consider power supply, number of gas outlets and number of drawers.
- Load capacity.

5. Anesthesia Cart
An anesthesia cart must be durable to withstand the demands associated with daily use, secure to ensure medications remain safe and are only accessible to authorized staff members, as well as, organized to allow for easy identification and the fast retrieval of medications, tools, and supplies. Aditionally, to have an organized medical cart, there must be enough room to accommodate the essentials, while still keeping access easy and timely.
6. Anesthesia Equipment
Medical professionals often use anesthesia equipment in the operating room environment during surgery to help prevent patients from feeling pain and relax the surrounding muscles. Anesthesia machines are essential to any health care facility. It is important to provide patients with a reliable anesthesia machine to induce and maintain anesthesia.
Hospitals can purchase an integrated advanced anesthesia workstation with all components or a modular system assembled from standard components. Integrated workstations mean low dead zones, compact design, fewer external connections and, most importantly, seamless data sharing between components. It can also be used to store items such as intravenous medications, syringes, needles, and other equipment that may be required by the nursing staff providing anesthesia.

7. X ray Machine
X-rays are often used in orthopedic surgery. Higher X-ray power, larger image intensifier field size, and better sterility are major facilities requested by surgeons to help reduce delays and free up radiographers to examine more patients.
Portable X-ray machines make it easier for surgeons to maneuver the device into any position they wish to help provide a clearer view of the area being operated on. The relatively compact size of the machine also reduces the amount of space used in the operating room, giving the surgical team more room to perform the procedure.

8. Infusion Pump
The accuracy of fluid and drug delivery is very important. To ensure accurate infusion and medication administration, intravenous therapy is performed using an infusion pump.
The infusion pump sets the rate and duration of liquid delivery through an integrated software interface.
Infusion pumps have significant advantages over manual infusion methods, which also include the ability to deliver liquids in very small amounts and at precisely programmed rates or automatic intervals. Infusion pumps can deliver nutrients or drugs to the body, such as insulin or other hormones, antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and painkillers.

9. Suction Unit
Suction machines are vital during anaesthesia, resuscitation, intensive care and other procedures and should not be ignored. Suction machines are very helpful for patients with severe blockages in the mouth, trachea or pharynx. Suction machines can be life-saving when a patient is unable to remove secretions because they are confused or are undergoing a surgical or medical procedure.
4 situations that require the use of a suction machine:
- To remove secretions and blood when the patient is unable to do so.
- If the airway is partially or completely obstructed
- To assist a patient who is vomiting during a seizure or loss of consciousness.
- To remove foreign bodies from the airway (lung suction)
Medical suction machines come in a variety of sizes and configurations, and they are an important tool in providing safe and effective patient care. Users can select between continuous and intermittent suction modes and adjust the suction level to ensure that all secretions are removed. The low-noise operation of the suction machine provides efficient patient care at all times, and in doing so reduces disruption to caregivers and patients.

10. Patient Monitor
Patients are physically and psychologically weak and require regular monitoring and comprehensive management in preoperative preparation, intraoperative monitoring and postoperative management. The use of monitors allows for timely monitoring of the patient’s physiological parameters and the detection of potential problems.
It is important to choose a monitor that can provide the required information during surgery. Multi-parameter patient monitors provide patients with the basic vital sign information needed for optimal service on a single screen. 24-hour continuous monitoring of patient physiological parameters, detecting trends, indicating critical situations, and providing a basis for emergency treatment and therapy.
The following can be accurately measured in patients:
- Oxygen saturation
- Blood pressure
- Temperature
- Electrocardiogram
- Respiratory rate

11. Defibrillator
Every minute counts when it comes to saving lives during cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be performed immediately during cardiac arrest to facilitate the restoration of the heart’s ejection function, and prompt treatment with a defibrillator can help save the patient’s life.
Manual defibrillation is the traditional form of defibrillation performed by healthcare professionals, using a defibrillator to deliver a selected amount of shock to restore cardiac function.
There is also the option of integrated defibrillation, pacing, monitoring, and AED functions working together to create a safe and effective environment for the procedure.
