Abstract
As the population ages and grows, health services must evolve in ways to offer versatile patient care, whilst improving patient outcomes and maintaining long-term economic viability. A facility assisting in the provision of such healthcare is the hybrid operating room (HOR): a specialised suite allowing simultaneous radiological and surgical diagnostics and therapeutics in a single episode of care. Versatile and customizable, the HOR is utilised by a broad range of subspecialties in elective and emergency settings, including (but not limited to) vascular surgery, trauma surgery and interventional radiology. Though the benefits of hybrid techniques to patient care are well known, the actual steps in operationalising the HOR can be challenging if not considered and coordinated appropriately. The intention of this narrative review is to highlight issues and suggest solutions in the design and commissioning of an HOR. Key areas in need of specific attention include stakeholder involvement, economic feasibility, suite location, workflow planning, hybrid equipment choice, and team organisation.
