In-Patient Department - Operation Theatre
The Operation Theatre is the place where Surgical Procedures take place. The operation theatre team consists of
- Surgeon (Gynecologist/ Surgeon/Orthopedician/ENT/EYE)
- Anesthetist
- Nurses
Surgeries are of two kinds - Elective (planned) and Emergency (Urgent). It is always best that patients are taken up for elective procedures, but many times the circumstances are such that emergency operations have to be performed.
Before any operation, the operating surgeon and anesthetist discuss about the operation, indication, patients general condition, and complicatons if expected.
The operating surgeon discusses with the patient pre-operatively as to what operation is performed, what complications are likely,if blood would be needed etc. A consent is signed by the patient- this is a legal document stating that the patient is fully informed about the procedure and that he/she is willing to undergo the procedure without any force.
The anesthetist will evaluate the patient before getting operated and check if the patient is fit for surgery. Laboratory tests are done,clinical examination is conducted and patient is informed as to which anesthesia will be administered
The operation theatre nurses are trained professionals who assist the doctors in the operation theatre.
Cleaniness of the operation theatre, special cleaning (sterilization) of the instruments and theatre safety are followed to ensure that all patients are safely operated upon.
