We have fully equipped Operation Theater and CSSD (Central Sterile Supply Department). We have the following types of sterilization:

• Autoclave: Steam sterilization.
• ETO (Ethylene Trade Oxide): All type of plastic and tubing are being sterilized with ETO as per the standard.
• Operating rooms: We have 2 operating theaters. Each theater is equipped to conduct most advanced and complicated surgery.
• In OT we have well trained Bsc/GNM nurses to assist in the latest endoscopic/ laparoscopic surgery.
• OT environment is being periodically monitored by sending the surveillance swabs. These measures provide a sterile environment and have resulted in minimal infection rate. So we use single dose antibiotics in most elective cases.
• • Strict aseptic precautions and the sterile atmosphere are monitored with continuous airflow filtered by HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters and the same has been monitored in all theaters.

Statistics :

We perform approximately 1200- 1300 surgeries per year.

Patient safety: We mainly focus on patient safety and these are some of the steps

• The patient is identified with a wrist identification tag and patient file in transfer bay
• Time out (Patient name, Hosp. No and surgery side, antibiotics given) is being done by the Anesthetist in the presence of Surgeon and scrub nurse before starting surgery
• OT temperature and humidity are monitored
• We have Warm touch machine a to keep the patient warm, especially pediatric cases
• We apply TED (Thrombo Embolic Devices) and SCD (Sequential Compression Device) during the prolonged surgery to avoid DVT(Deep Vein Thrombosis)
