Operating Room Renovation 101: The Essential Guide

Every year, due to the occurrence of some diseases and accidents caused by natural and human factors, such as fire, murder, wild animal attacks, fights, car accidents, and cutting body parts, everyone needs a professional surgeon and, more importantly, a well-equipped operating room in a safe hospital.

The operating room is an essential part of the hospital that people use to try to survive under the surgical blade and long-term operations.

Doctors and specialists perform their most important tasks in the operating room. The room's conditions should be such that the doctor has sufficient concentration. Standard operating room conditions include adequate lighting, soundproof walls, high-performance cooling and heating systems, and proper flooring so that people can quickly get equipment and tools to the doctor.

So, you should pay a lot of attention to building or fixing the defects of the hospital building and the operating room.

Why is Operating Room Renovation Necessary?

Operating rooms must have enough space. That is, they must be large enough to have space for the personnel and doctors' movement, mobile beds and medical equipment so they can be placed entirely in the room.

Some operating rooms need imaging devices for bones, heart and internal organs. The person who reconstructs it must pay attention to all these issues. He should ask the hospital management about the usage of each room so that he does not renovate the room without coordination and accuracy.

Because in the rooms where imaging is required, you must use insulated and anti-radiation walls and ceilings so that the dangerous rays stay confined in the same room and do not get outside.

With years of experience constructing and renovating all medical buildings, Happy Construction Company can design and build functional and standard operating rooms.

Frequently asked questions about operating room renovations.

Is the method of renovating all operating rooms the same?

Each operating room functions differently, so it's important to know what type of room you're looking for.

Does a professional construction group like Happy Construction know what methods will be used to construct any operating room in Toronto? This team should know whether or not radiation and dangerous things for the body are used. What kind of chemicals and cleaning materials will be used for the environment, and what areas are the most important to focus on in this treatment centre?

Knowing the answers to these questions, the contractor can design and build the best operating room. It can also use suitable material for it.

What should be the lighting of the operating room?

Considering that the surgical operation may sometimes be long and exhausting, the room should have good lighting. If there is more light in the central part or the part where the patient's bed is placed, the focus and accuracy of the doctor will be higher.

Because sometimes, due to the lack of enough light, the eye gets tired, and the doctor cannot perform surgery for a long hour in a dimly lit, minor, or even hot environment.

Which part of the hospital is the best for building an operating room?

Usually, the operating room is not made too far from the vital parts so that when the patient is in critical condition, he is quickly taken to the operating room, and there is no delay in the treatment.

But if the operating room is located on other floors of the hospital, the mobile beds and the departments where the patients are kept should be close to the bed transport elevators to bring the patient to the operating room without interruption.

Hospital Renovation

Before renovating operating rooms and choosing the type of materials to be used, it is necessary to remove all the defects in the hospital and corridors.

Because if all the departments do not work well and are not made in a standard way, the operating room may not have any particular use in the hospital! For example, if the length and width of the corridors are not standard and it is too narrow, the mobile beds cannot move quickly.

Meanwhile, if the corridors are very winding, they may slow down. For some patients with serious injuries, every second counts and their lives may be at risk.

Therefore, the construction team must check the primary and essential parts of the hospital before performing the operation room renovation. Renovating or constructing the operating rooms after their general design may be better.

Operating Room Renovation Tips

Since the operating room is a vital part of any hospital, you must following points carefully considered in its construction and renovation:

• Paying attention to the type of materials chosen for the wall and floor of the operating room and their high durability
• Resistance to stains and pollution
• Being washable
• Resistant to mild or moderate earthquakes
• Not using too bright or too dark colours may cause errors and disrupt focus.
• Use adequate lighting in the operating room

Conclusion

If you plan to renovate the operating room, you should consider renovating the hospital before doing anything. Because if you build the operating room well and make significant changes to it, but the hospital's main building has problems, you will be forced to destroy parts of the hospital, even the operating room. Please investigate some cases, such as the cooling and heating system failure, lack of correct and basic electrical wiring, loss of pipes, dampness of the walls, and not paying attention to hospital standards. Using experienced and skilled technicians, the Happy Construction Company can provide a standard design for it after a complete examination of the hospital and operating room location.
