1. Electrical and suction outlets: • Will contain both 110v and 220v- connected to a monitoring system
• must be well above the floor - 5 feet
• red outlets are connected to back up generator - for use with equipment vital to patient safety (NEVER ISE EXTENSION
CORDS)
2. Suction outlets: • each OR must have at least two suction outlets (14 surgical team and one for anesthesia)
3. Three types of gas commonly used in the OR: •oxygen- green
• nitrous oxide- blue
• compressed air-yellow
• black- nitrogen
4. Lights: • surgical lights provide a range of intensity and focused with minimum heat
• freely and easily accessible for cleaning
• glare, free illumination, mimics, natural sunlight
• allows doctor to differentiate between arterial/Venus blood or other tissues
• WIDE FOCAL POINT That should not leave dark center
• HORIZONTAL/ VERTICAL PLANES
5. Environmental control: • POSTIVE LUMINAR AIRFLOW
• air exchange- minimum of 15 air exchanges per hour, recommended is 20 to 25 per hour, CDC recommends HEPA
filter and that at least 20% of air exchanges come from outside air
• HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE AIR FILTER
6. Temp. And humidity: • 68-73 degrees according to ANSI (AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE)
• relative humidity between 20-60%
• DECREASE STATIC DISCHARGE
7. Doors: • access to the OR should be kept closed during all procedures to protect the internal from the external
• traffic should be limited, especially during open joints
• use the sub sterile to access during procedures
8. Computers: • used by circulator and anesthesia provider for documentation, view, labs, and other testing
information
9. Viewing boxes and monitors: • X - Ray films can be mounted on the wall or display on a large TV
10. Cabinets: • should be recessed to avoid dust accumulation
11. Booms: • boom is an articulating arm that is mounted from the ceiling
• holds medical gases, power, visual services, equipment, shelves, instrument rails, and various medical devices
