DESIGN STRATEGIES
Sufficient space at the foot of the OR table minimizes crowding and disruptions during the procedure, and allows for unobstructed flow of equipment and people.
CITATIONS
TYPE OF STRATEGY
People Technology Built EnvironmentLocating the sterile zone to avoid encroachment of unrelated circulation into the sterile field reduces the potential for contamination of the sterile zone and supports movement within the OR without disruption and interference between surgical team members.
CITATIONS
TYPE OF STRATEGY
Task Built EnvironmentAccess to the sterile field, unobstructed by equipment or cords, supports reduced potential for hazards such as slips, trips, and falls and increased access to the patient during the surgical procedure.
