Climate change will affect most populations in the next decades and put the health of billions of people at risk. Health care facilities represent a significant source of pollution around the world and contribute to environmental changes. To address this topic, we performed a review of the available literature on tactics to reduce operating room (OR ...

Simulation in the operating room
Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2015Simulation has become a significant training tool in the operating room (OR). It can be used in both simple task training and complex scenarios. The challenge for simulation in the OR is how to translate that which is learned, and perceived to beneficial, into behavioral change and improved patient outcomes.

Electrocution in the Operating Room
Anesthesiology, 1973The manner in which a patient sustained an electrical shock injury from improperly wired equipment during the course of an operation was described in order to acquaint others with a potentially hazardous situation. A patient requiring surgical treatment had the ground plate of an electrocautery unit placed under her buttocks and the electrodes of an ...

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2018
The operating room is the financial hub of any hospital, and maximizing operating room efficiency has important implications for cost savings, patient satisfaction, and medical team morale. Over the past decade, manufacturing principles and processes such as Lean and Six Sigma have been applied to various aspects of healthcare including the operating ...

Hygiene and room climate in the operating room
Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies, 2003The ventilation system is not the most important source to cause surgical site infections via the air. More important is the skin of both staff and patients. The literature did not reveal any reduction of the risk of surgical site infections resulting from the employment of ultra-clean air-systems during surgical procedures, the one exception being ...

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2013
Development of surgical care in the 21st century is increasingly dependent on demonstrating safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness. Over the past 2 decades, the potential role of simulation in surgery has been explored with encouraging results; this can now be linked to direct improvement in the quality of care provision.

The operating room of the future
Neurological Research, 1999The operating room of the future will be designed to have peri-operative integration of all imaging capabilities. Pre-operative planning will become increasingly important, as will integrated intra-operative neuro-navigation. The operative work space will be redesigned to have robotic capabilities. Operating rooms will be isolated.
