An operating theater also known as heart of the hospital.

An operating theater (also known as an operating room (OR), operating suite) is a facility within a hospital where surgical operations are carried out in an aseptic environment.

An operation theatre (OT) technologist forms an main part of any hospital. 

He / she is a member of a multidisciplinary team in operation theatres who plays an active role in smooth functioning of operation theatre complex.

He / she assists anaesthesiologist and surgical team during perioperative period and provides support to patients in PACU.

He / she plays an important role in advance preparation of  equipments that are necessary for various anaesthesia / surgical procedures.

He/she also looks after all the work and management of the OT which includes managing the patients in & out of operation theatre (including PACU), care and maintenance of all the OT equipments as well as management of the staff and proper documentation.

As the surgical branch has various subspecialties including General Surgery, Eye, ENT, OBG, Cardiac, Ortho , genito-urinary, neuro and Reconstructive surgeries,  the OT technologist needs to know about these various subspecialties.

Moreover, a variety of electrical and electronic equipments are in use in modern operation theatres for monitoring anesthesia & surgical procedures.

success of the procedures and safety of patients depend largely on the reliability, smooth and trouble free performance of these equipments and ability of skilled manpower to operate the same.

Thus, there is increased need for qualified and trained OT Technologists not only in India, but also in other developing countries. This course is aimed at satisfying this need.
