PARACLINICAL REQUIREMENTS

A hospital is a health care institution providing

patient treatment by spe- ^ .
cialized staff and equipment. In reality, hospitals are the setting
where cutting-edge medical advances relieve suffering, and bring
healing and even new life for those whom, even a few short
years ago, there would be little hope. Hospitals are complex
buildings containing many departments of different
specializations where diagnostic or therapeutic activities take
place, while other administrative, ancillary, or service units
sustain, and support main functions, to compliment the health
care process.

CORRIDORS, DOORS, STAIRS AND LIFTS

Generally, access corridors must be at least 1.50m wide.
Corridors in which patients will be transported on trolleys
should have a minimum effective width of 2.25 m. Service
corridors should be at least 3.5m wide. Main spine corridors
are taken 3m wide least. The suspended ceiling in corridors
may be installed up to 2.40 m. Windows for lighting and
ventilation should not be further than 25m apart

Apart from the entrance hall, general waiting per clinic and
subsidiary waiting spaces are required adjacent to each
consultation room and treatment rooms in all clinics. The
minimum floor area required per waiting patient can be put
as 8 sq. ft (0.75 m2). So as to avoid a 'club atmosphere' in
the waiting rooms, it may be advisable to put the seats in
such a way that all the patients face in the same direction.
The waiting room should be adequately ventilated

The waiting room should be adequately ventilated

3. A & E (ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY

The accident and emergency department is for ambulant
and bedridden patients and is accessed via the emergency
entrance (the minimum vehicle headroom is 3.50m). Clear
signposting to the driver-in-entrance is of life saving
importance for ambulance drivers. It is convenient to site
this entrance on the opposite side of the building to the
main entrance to avoid contact with the visitors and other
patients. The accident and emergency department consists
of emergency treatment rooms (20-25 sq.m) equipped with
operating furniture's.

Surgical department should be close to the intensive care

department, the recovery room and the central sterilization
area because there is extensive interaction between these
departments and so easy access must be assured.
The hygiene precautions require the surgical unit to be isolated
from the rest of the hospital operations. This is achieved by a
demarcation system using lobbies.
Surgical departments are best located centrally in the core area
of the hospital where they are e M y to reach. The reception area
for emergency cases (casualties) must be as close as possible
to the surgical area since such patients often need to be moved
into surgery immediately.
