How to manage laminar flow operating room

The operating room used to be relatively simple, but with the development of society, the requirements for surgery have become increasingly high, and the operating room requirements have also become higher. Nowadays, laminar flow operating rooms are more commonly used. The daily management of laminar flow operating rooms is very important. If not managed properly, it can also cause some problems. So how to carry out daily management?

1、 Dress code management for medical staff: Medical staff entering the operating room must wear gloves, masks, and isolation gowns that have undergone high-pressure treatment. After use, it cannot be casually worn or discarded, and must be placed in the designated location according to requirements. Patients also need to wear isolation caps and processed patient gowns.

2、 Strictly control the air purification device: About an hour before the surgery, prepare the laminar flow operating room for purification. Strict purification measures should be taken, such as using air filters to remove dust, etc. Suitable humidity and temperature are also required, with indoor humidity controlled between 40% and 60% and temperature between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius being more suitable.

3、 Maintain a positive indoor pressure environment: Indoor positive pressure means that the air pressure inside the operating room needs to be greater than the air pressure outside the operating room, which prevents a large amount of air with high bacterial content and low cleanliness from entering the operating room. During surgery, it is necessary to maintain a sealed positive pressure indoor environment to reduce the frequency of medical staff entering and exiting, in order to avoid affecting the air quality in the operating room.

4、 Postoperative cleaning is very important: After surgery, there are often some garbage generated during the surgical process, which are usually not directly taken out by cleaning personnel. They can be handed over by nurses through transfer windows to the outside corridor and placed in designated locations by professional cleaning personnel.

The article introduces how to manage laminar flow operating rooms. I hope these contents are helpful to everyone. The cleanliness of laminar flow operating rooms not only relies on professional air purification and high-tech processing, but also on daily care. So nurses should pay attention to daily maintenance and maintain a clean and comfortable environment.
