What is an operating room?

An operating room is a specially equipped room in a hospital or clinic where surgical operations are performed. It is designed to provide a sterile environment, with strict adherence to infection control measures, ensuring patient safety during surgery. Operating rooms are equipped with sophisticated medical technology and instruments necessary for various surgical procedures. The room layout includes essential components such as surgical lights, an anesthesia machine, surgical tables, instrument carts, and patient monitors. Medical staff, including surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, and other specialists, work collaboratively in the operating room to provide proper patient care and ensure successful surgical outcomes.
