Precision Air Products Presents: Operating Room Ceilings

Operating room ceilings are densely equipped. The placement of various lights, booms, columns and other equipment is critical to the success of the procedure, and the safety of the patient. But so is the mechanical ventilation system.  Why is it, then, that the equipment is developed into the reflected ceiling plan months or even years before the ventilation? Is it a problem? What steps can be taken to avoid ceiling conflicts and interference - problems that could lead to nosocomial infection and even death?

Answers to these questions are presented during the discussion of the following topics:

• Integration in General Use Operating Rooms

• Integration in Special Procedure (IR) Rooms, such as Catheterization Labs, etc.

• Integration in Ultraclean Operating Rooms

• Industry Solutions Observed
