C’mon, c’mon - it’s either one or the other

TOO EARLY, OR TOO LATE?

WHAT DOES THE LITERATURE SAY?

THE FUTURE IS NOW

LEARNING GOALS Scope of the problem What is a hybrid suite Why getting a hybrid suite

SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM Cardiac and vascular procedures are performed by several different specialists, involving others as well: – Anesthesiologists, angiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, and vascular surgeons

SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM These procedures are thus traditionally performed in altogether different settings, none of which is perfectly equipped: – Angiographic suite with state-of-the-art C-arm – Operating room with portable C-arm

AN EXAMPLE: PHILIPS-MAQUET Flexible room design: Modular wall and ceiling elements allow hospitals to design every aspect of the operating room in line with their requirements. Modular and ergonomic: MAQUET operating tables can be used for any intervention and across multiple disciplines, making them a highly cost- effective investment. The tables are partially or fully synchronized with imaging equipment. A bright future: PowerLED lights set new standards of illumination quality, safety, convenience and operational efficiency. Everything within reach: Ceiling supply units save space, create a more orderly and ergonomic working environment, streamline workflows and increase efficiency – further enhancing the multidisciplinary use of the OR. Leading-edge OR Integration: AV CONFERENCE is the control centre for integrated operating theatres. It offers state of the art multimedia technology and equipment control.

ADVANTAGES Time & space: the patient no longer needs to be moved to a different procedure or operating room to accommodate multiple heart and vascular procedures or surgeries Multidisciplinarity Integration of information and skills Enhanced safety and efficacy

IN OTHER WORDS Combines endovascular, cardiac catheterization, cardiac surgical, laparoscopic, and radiological capabilities Allows maximum flexibility and speed in the treatment of patients with even the most complex cardiac and vascular conditions

TAKE HOME MESSAGES Hybrid suites have evident clinical and economic advantages over standard angiographic and operating suites Customization is the key word for anyone wishing to set up a hybrid room Before choosing which one to buy and were to set it up, however, we must address and settle untoward turf wars
