Computer Systems in Hospital Operating Rooms

By Allyson Westcot


A laptop like a Panasonic Tuff Book can square up to a large amount of abuse. When the majority picture these systems, they almost certainly picture them outside in rain, snow, raging heat and intense conditions. Military rugged systems might be exposed to more extremes.

The operating room in a surgery barely appears like a space where most people possibly picture rugged technology at work. But a computer in the OR needs to be well-sealed and protected, both to prevent information loss and protect the patients.

Everything in an operating room must be properly cleaned. If any old portable were employed in the OR, naturally the case and the keys could be meticulously wiped down to kill germs, but the spaces between the keys, the cracks in the case, all the small concealed spots that may collect dust and dirt would harbour bacteria and pose dangerous health risks to patients. Rugged systems, on the other hand, can be totally sealed and totally sterilized to stop these issues.

A regular laptop computer employed in an OR, whether or not it may be sterilised to the level of a rugged system could still put the patients in peril. If it is dropped or perhaps bumped hard, it could be damaged. It may crash under even normal working circumstances, let alone when it's trusted for potentially life-saving info. A slight bump or random drop could also lead it to lose info, bringing things to a halt extremely fast.

A rugged system or tablet designed to withstand shocks and jarring is the least likely to fail in this sort of situation. The danger of information loss is minimised as much as feasible, and the PCs are designed to stay on and keep working even after dropped, jarred, shaken or vibrated. The computer keeps working so that the operation can keep going without any delay.
