The impact of COVID-19 on hospitals, and more specifically on surgical rooms, has been undeniable.
The pandemic has implied major changes in operating theatres and surgical rooms, ranging from staff availability, the need to prioritise certain procedures or change certain practices, and even new ways of thinking about surgical spaces.
Across the world, national health contingency plans have had to adapt to cope with the impact of COVID-19, and healthcare facilities and critical care systems have come under extraordinary pressure.
Faced with a massive influx of long-term intensive care patients, overwhelmed hospitals have often had to resort to medical evacuations. In more and more countries, this is leading to a complete rethink of the way hospitals and surgical areas are designed.
Modular spaces to meet new needs
Solutions such as NEXOR.Suite, a modular construction system for the creation of new medical spaces, allow the need for isolation or surgical intervention spaces to be addressed in an agile manner.
Based on a versatile, scalable and sustainable architecture, it makes it possible to respond to critical cases in emergency healthcare situations but also in day-to-day life.
The use of modular partitions allows NEXOR.Suite to evolve continuously and to adapt to the needs that may arise, improving patient care in any situation, including critical healthcare areas such as operating theatres or ICUs. It also facilitates the implementation of new devices that may be necessary.
The health of those who care for our health, at the centre of priorities
During the pandemic, operating theatres and surgeons also faced two associated problems: physical and mental exhaustion of staff, and a growing backlog of essential non-COVID-19 healthcare procedures, which were inevitably pushed back.
Now that the most critical phase of the health emergency has passed, the well-being of doctors and surgeons must be one of the priorities, so that they can continue to carry out their work with maximum guarantees.
An objective to which we at NEXOR Medical are committed, designing and creating solutions that reduce the fatigue of surgical professionals, such as the Nova.light surgical lights.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
